Detailed Description

UAS carrying the methane sensor (left) and a smaller UAS used to collect videos and photos (right) in Alaska. Both UAS are resting on wooden pallets that the team set onto the bog for a dry and flat takeoff/landing location.

The NUSO supported USGS methane emissions research in August 2022 by flying a UAS equipped with a methane-sensing payload at various altitudes over a bog in the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest in Fairbanks, Alaska.
