The class 5 probe above Kelemane's planet

The class 5 planetary probe is a probe carried aboard Federation starships. It is equiped with visual sensors, as well as sensors that can detect the chemical contents of an atmosphere, and geological sensors. Its orbit is maintained with impulse thrusters capable of operating for at least 200 years.

A class 5 probe was used by the USS Voyager in 2376 to gather information about Kelemane's planet when the ship was trapped in orbit above the planet. Data returned by the probe indicated that the civilization on the surface had advanced to a industrial level. It also reported the frequency of the seismic distubances caused by Voyager's presence.
