It had the possibility of scanning\/scanning entire databases prior to establishing first contact, ( or radio-comminucations ). Deep Space 9 ( Terok Nor ) was a converted Cardassian space station in orbit of Bajor ( Chief Miles O'Brien continuously complained about loving his job that there was constantly something to fix ). Even though Voyager was taken from the alpha Quadrant 2 years earlier than Deep Space 9 was &quot;founded&quot; it makes sense that DS9 was not equipped with exploration abilities hardware &amp; software. Or it was not a priority to fix since &quot;What's the chance of meeting a new species out here ?&quot;"}
