Calibrating Internal Sensors

NASA Langley drone crew Todd Ferrante (left) and Brayden Chamberlain (right) calibrate the internal sensors of the NASA Alta X quadcopter before its first test flight on August 27, 2024 in Missoula, Montana, as part of a FireSense campaign. Calibrating these sensors requires flipping and spinning the quadcopter in a set of moves nicknamed “the drone dance.”
