You can occasionally get suprisingly good scans from ships without a scanner such as mentioned mini-colonisers without anything in mech slot, perhaps surviving combat or going to a planet previously scanned before it was colonised helps.
But beware, some info may become out of date without warning... for example you may think you have the latest pop numbers and terraforming but they may become several years old.

some ships should have left scrap in space

Detonating minefields don't leave scrap but hitting regular ones does I believe. Funny how due to random nature of scrap, you may actually leave more scrap than the ships cost when crash sweeping with those mini-colonisers.

hit this turn minefields, but those failed to show in the scanner

Minefields are cloaked until you spot them. From help file, "Contents->Guts->Guts of minefields"

Detecting Minefields
Cloaked value of minefields:
Penetrating Scanners: 0%
Non-Penetrating Scanners: 82%
Conditions for detecting an opponent's minefield:
You can see both the center and radius of an opponent's minefields if:
¨ the center of the minefield is in range of your penetrating scanner, OR
¨ You have hit the minefield at least once and the center is in range of your normal scanners OR
¨ You are IN the mine field.
Ship Cloak Effectiveness in Minefields
When a ship is in a minefield, its cloak effectiveness is always an absolute value (90% cloak = 10% chance of
detection).
