These long-range flights aimed to study the impact of long flight times on the aerial cold chain. Maintaining the cold chain means keeping patient samples and...

By Ghana Flying Labs Most delivery drones operate well beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS). Satellites can provide imagery and terrain information of delivery points. But this data is not always reliable. This is due to the spatial and temporal resolutions of satellite imagery. That is to say, if a new cell tower is built, satellite images may not be up-to-date. To ensure the best and...
