Objective & Location

Objective

The main preface of this mission was to conduct mapping mission and a fly over to practice basic key features. We flew the Skydio S2+ platform at different altitudes nadir to the ground and took pictures demonstrating the focal points of the pixels for the 3D scanning. The different altitudes that we flew at was 200ft AGL for less detailed maps, and 100ft AGL for a scan of the building.

Location

⁠

William H. Daniel Turfgrass Research and Diagnostic Center

⁠

Our main base of operations was at the Purdue turf farm. This location had some hazards to be aware of like trees on the east and south side, electrical lines on the south side, and sports stadium lights on the west side. The ground was a little damp, but dry enough to have landscapers conduct normal operations like mowing.
