Survey is the process of finding Jump Points or minerals with specially equipped ships.
Gravitational Survey
Also see Gravitational Survey Sensors.
To travel between systems, you first need to find the Jump Points connecting them. See Interstellar travel. You can see the surveyed and unsurveyed Survey Locations in a system by selecting "Show JP Survey Locations" from the Display tab in the system map window.
You will be notified when a system has been completely surveyed.
Geological Survey
Also see Geological Survey Sensors.
Before you can start mining other bodies (planets, asteroids or comets), you have to find minerals first. Not all bodies contain minerals. You can see which bodies have been surveyed by selecting "Show Surveyed Bodies" from the Minerals tab in the system map window. Here you can also see how much mineral reserves have been found, and their accessibility (i.e. possible mining rate).
You will be notified when a system has been completely surveyed. Note that this is only a search from orbit. You can then send in a team of leaders with good survey skills to look for mineral deposits the ships have missed.
Default Survey Orders
On the second tab of the Task Group window you'll find "Default Orders". Select "Survey Next Location" for grav survey, or "Survey Next Planet" (or moon, or asteroid, depending on what you want) for geo survey. These orders will be carried out whenever there's nothing else in the orders list. You will be noticed when the ships have surveyed all locations which fit their orders.
If you use "Survey Next 5 Bodies", instead of "Survey Next Body", they will survey multiple bodies per time increment. The five survey orders are created at once, just as if you had done them manually.
If you use "Survey Next 3 Locations", the gravitational survey ships will queue three locations instead of one resulting in slightly less micromanagement.
