Yes google will give you the answer to one Astronomical Unit = KM.
BUT, begs the question, why the hell would you want to? The whole reason for using AU is that you dont have too many numbers showing. Same reason you dont measure speed in your car in MM per hour....

Ah, but the ship scanner is done in KM, and it can scan multiple AU. So, the question is, how many AU can you scan?
The answer being: (2^31) kilometers = 14.3550291 Astronomical Units

Begs the answer that I didnt ask to convert AU to Km, I asked to convert KM to Au.

So you did Zhang... sorry, not slept, insomnia.
Explains why i thought it was such a crazy question lol

Max scanner range is about 14.2 AU.. give or take.
Rounding to the nearest useful value 1 AU = 140,000,000 km iirc, though I'm less sure about this value than the 14.2 one.
I don't have a sig :(
but i do have a video

I always use 150,000,000km to the AU when using scan probes. Its close enough.

Rounding to the nearest 'useful' value actually gives 150,000,000 km. Using 150M km for scanning purposes should work just fine. 3au probes equivalent to 450M km f.ex.

I was close. tbh i would have linked them to the scanner guide but i'm far too lazy
