 My team had a chance to teardown UAS for this two-week lab. It was a lot more complicated than I thought. And some parts of our drone were already missing from the get-go, we were confused at first but we ended up tearing down ours perfectly. This is the process for teardown. Tear-Down Instructions: 1: Take Screws out of the center plastic that holds the harness w/ Phillips screwdriver (4 Screws) 2: Take Velcro Senor Harness off 3: Unplug Wires from Wire Hub 1, 2, 3, 4 , RCN Power2, USB, GPS 1 4: Unscrew/Take off Wire Hub 5: Unscrew and Take Off Plate/Assembly that holds the GPS station 6: Unscrew GPS Holder/Tower 7: Remove GPS sensor from GPS holder/tower 8: Cut the zip ties on the SimonK 30A 9: Cut the zip ties on the propeller arms 10: Unscrew and remove the top and bottom screws from the motor mounts 11: Remove Channel Receiver 12: Unscrew and Remove Prop Arms 13: Separate Central Square Plastic Mounts by removing the screws on both sides and the spacers in-between 14. Unscrew...

  Today's lab was focusing on operating a Mavic 2 pro beyond BVLOS(beyond visual line of sight). I flew a drone by relying on just VO without VLOS. All I had to was just following what VO wanted me to do to complete the goal of this lab. Even though I successfully took every picture of the targets, It was a little bit confusing when I flew a drone in reverse just with VO without VLOS because we had a different view. Target

We were assigned each flight altitude to check battery consumption at different altitudes. We flew at 121m and we collected each data from different altitudes(3m, 25m, 50m, 75m, 100m, 121m), after data collection we made a graph that shows real wind data from Purdue’s Mesonet. Collecting the wind data was not hard for us. The thing is making a graph with the data we collected. I used to learn excel when I was a kid. but I totally forgot to make a graph. Making a graph in excel was a learning curve for us at first. But, we finally figured out making a graph.
