A discovery scan ("honking") reveals the mass and size of all bodies it finds. This is literally all the information required to determine surface gravity. The fact that after already having the information required we need to do a surface scan is a bit silly. Presumably our shipboard computers can do simple algebra.
g = (mass / radius²) * 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2
g = (mass / radius²) * 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2
