Ingress Protection
None
Mount
Smart Dovetail
Operation Temperature
-20C to +50C
A single flight with Astro carrying the OGI Payload is typically ~25 minutes. Note that the time presented in AMC is an estimate. The exact time depends on several factors, such as temperature, air density, wind speed, direction, and the aircraft's flight profile.
To extend flight times while focusing on a fixed area of interest, consider having Astro orbit around the area. In our testing, Astro is most efficient when orbiting at 7 m/s rather than hovering. The orbit flight mode can be found by clicking on the map while on the ‘Fly’ screen, then clicking the orbit icon:
