First flight: Unsuccessful; we ran our autonomous mission planner to scout our area and locate our targets. We found said targets and sent a manual flight with our pilot (Ryan) to go drop our payload using a camera as guidance. We located our first target (behind the tree) and attempted to drop the payload. The drop was unsuccessful, later we found that the servo was unconnected somehow as well as a bad connection because of the tree blocking signal. When the drone made its final return it disconnected midair (filming crew did not document unfortunately), the pilot lost complete control and the drone began decending where it eventually crashed.
This is the mission planner that the software engineer(Anthony) made for the autonomous grid search.
