Like a survey, but short. Meaning you get questions asked to you, in a manner that isnt too time consuming, or maybe it's a survey for dwarves.
I thought I'd add this because the latest update for this word is around 15 years old now.

Get the short survey mug.The comprehensive, systematic process of mapping, scanning, and analyzing an entire celestial body (planet, moon, asteroid) to understand its geology, resources, atmosphere, and potential for life or habitation. It's the ultimate recon mission, combining orbital spectroscopy, surface rovers, seismic monitors, and atmospheric probes to build a complete scientific and strategic portrait. The goal isn't just a pretty picture; it's a data-rich inventory of every mountain, mineral deposit, water ice patch, and radiation flux.
Example: The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter meticulously imaging the Red Planet's surface to chart ancient river deltas and ice deposits, while rovers like Curiosity drill into rocks for chemical analysis, together constitute a Planetary Survey. Before a crewed mission to the Moon's South Pole, a fleet of autonomous landers would conduct a detailed survey to pinpoint the exact location of water ice in permanently shadowed craters.

2.A typical Surveyor uses all manner of cool robotic instruments, laser scanners, eletronic measuring devices, high end computer programs and a beat up old 4WD.
3. A Typical Surveyor is better than a 'mans best friend' makes females go weak at the knees and wet at the crotch just by being in their presence and still has time to go to the pub after work.
4. Famous Surveyors in history are GOD, McGuyver, Mr T, Chuck Norris, The Loch Ness Monster, Einstein, JFK, Malcom X, Snoopy, James Bond, all Ninjas, Mr Miyagi, Thomas Eddison, The Hoff.
5. The average surveyor is able to bring the real world into the office of the timid cartographer by all manner of observations and exact measurements and can easily take the rambling designs of a fat-arsed but exciteable engineer and put them into the real world (or not, if they are complete shit).
6. The Surveyor is often the target for the jealousy of others due to feelings of inadequacy (usually in the pants). Due to this Surveyors will often work in teams, where each will watch the other's back like a highly trained quasi-military unit. In this case the term "Team Survey" can be applied.
