This composite image shows the NASA Alta X quadcopter taking off during one of eight flights it performed for the 2024 FireSense uncrewed aerial system (UAS) technology demonstration in Missoula, Montana. Mounted on top of the drone is a unique infrastructure designed at NASA Langley to carry a radiosonde and an anemometer – two sensors that measure wind speed and direction – into the sky. On the ground, UAS Pilot in Command Brayden Chamberlain performs final pre-flight checks.
