Drone for Earth Sciences

by Allison Karp
The project goal is to design a long-endurance multi-rotor unmanned air vehicle (UAV) that will be used to carry science payloads. The immediate application is flights over the Helheim Glacier in Greenland, gathering data collected by remote glacier monitoring stations. Research has focused on configuration design and sizing to permit long range flights.
