Mission is planned for nominal 17-hour mission to fires in ID / MT / WY. Hope you are following such on live video feed at CDE or CDE-Lite (access via WRAP website at http://geo.arc.nasa.gov/sge/WRAP).</p> <p>Based on the filed flight-plan, we automatically generated targets of interests based on MODIS &#8220;hot pixels&#8221; with a 6nm corridor. Draper Laboratory optimized the targets based on predicted cloud coverage in the area.</p> <p>As a result, ASTER and EO-1 were tasked to image CASTLE ROCK, Idaho. It will be interesting to get the raw data, process it and overlay it on the map with the UAV imagery&#8230;</p> <p>The UAV will also be able to task EO-1 to take complementary imagery as needed. </p> <p>The Geo-Web in action&#8230;</p> Thu, 30 Aug 2007 00:52:00 +0000 urn:uuid:ac791255-800d-4cb7-9fb0-80072020d645 Patrice Cappelaere http://geobliki.com/articles/2007/08/30/ikhana-uav-took-off Web Geo
