The Deep Space Satellite is just that, a cheap disposable satellite that the Scimitar Class Scout Ship can deposit in a system. The Satellite is used to monitor key systems for activity; it does not have any hyperspace warning, so it can only provide limited information. A favored tactic is to wait for a satellite to be shot down and then analyze the wreckage to determine how it was destroyed.
