Slobnoxiouswhat entails a level 3 scan?
I think its scanning planetary bodies or rings with the detailed/surface scanner.

Yeah, I beleive it is a full scan of the surface that gets you details of what is on the surface, such as bio and geo locations, crash sites, lifeforms on gas giants, etc. To get that, you have to scan at least 90% of the surface with the DSS probes. For large gas giants that can mean 20+ probes if you are not using a DSS engineered for a larger coverage area.
I am not sure if previously mapped planets count, or if only new discoveries count.

Or for a perfect cheat, use Spansh Road to Riches plotter
For Exo in Odyssey look for landable planets with Biological signs, (+no human presence for potential of first footfall)
try to get more than 1 bio count, or you're just gonna be scanning patches of bacterium
