Santa Martina Testing

Dic 2022

December 16 tests

The goals of these test flights at Santa Martina Observatory where the following:

Evaluate the performance of the inclinometer, which showed uncharacteristic behaviour in the previous St. Martina tests.
Test photogrammetry reconstructions when carrying out alt scans from South, North, East and West.
Confirm functionality related to automated gimbal control.

GPS Coordinates

The drone RTK base was placed on the floor and the E-Survey RTK base was placed 2.9 meters West of the drone base. The coordinates of the drone RTK base stayed the same as in the November tests in Santa Martina, the E-Survey RTK base coordinates also stayed the same as in the previous tests:

Drone RTK Base:

lat: -33.2692695, long: -70.5343877, height: 1445.346 meters

E-Survey RTK Base:

lat: -33.2692695, long: -70.53441882, height: 1445.346 meters

Drone RTK antennas measured by the E-Survey RTK GPS (Rover)

Antenna Coordinates:

antenartk1: -33.26923629,-70.53441471,1446.072941001

antenartk2: -33.26923635,-70.53441816,1446.05974838

Measured offset in ENU coordinates then corresponds to:

East: -0.3215036 , North: -0.00665607, Up: -0.01319263
