This includes identifying planets ~~more closing, such as gathering~~ the atmospheric composition and ~~determining~~ their [[Planet#Type\|planet type]] rather than an estimation provided ~~from~~ the SCMI Array.

This includes identifying planets in greater detail than a Long Range scan could achieve. A Medium Range scan gathers data about the atmospheric composition of planets and determines their [[Planet#Type\|planet type]], rather than an estimation of the type provided by the SCMI Array.
