The empty Survey Task Group is created at game start. If it is not there for some reason use the Shipyard TG instead.
I found this thread while searching for another subject, but figured I'd let you know that your Tutorial Part 7: Fast OB Creation window and Basic Fleet Orders has the user renaming the original task group...

Survey ships work best independently so lets split the fleet into two. Select one of the ships in the grid control and press the Detach button (bottom right). This is now a separate fleet. Set up the same default and conditional orders for this fleet too and then reselect the original Survey Task Group. As this is a single ship as well, press Rename TG (bottom left) and give it the same name as the ship so the two geo survey fleets have similar names.
In version 5.02, after renaming the original Survey Task Group, it is no longer available as a task group selection. I don't know if this is working as intended, but that's what is happening.

Thanks, that is what I ended up doing. I now know I could have also created the group if I wanted and just moved my ships into it.

I open Fast OB Creation window and click on the arrow for Task Groups but not see a Survey Task Group. I see Battle Task Group, Cargo, Colony, and a few others but not Survey Task Group. I'm working my way through the first tutorial V4.77 Tutorial at http://aurora.pentarch.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1860.  

I suspect that maybe the Survey Task Group was renamed or was dropped and I can just used any task group but I'm not completely sure. I could have missed something. If so can you tell me how to get to the Survey Task Group.
