The use of advanced remote sensing technologies—like muon tomography, quantum gravimetry, or deep-penetrating radar—to map and identify valuable mineral, aqueous, or energy resources buried kilometers beneath a planet's or moon's surface. It's the high-tech equivalent of X-ray vision for entire landscapes, allowing prospectors to "see" ore deposits, groundwater aquifers, or geothermal pockets without digging a single hole. This is the critical first step for any large-scale off-world mining or colony site selection.
