Description

Astero is a fixed-wing drone that offers large-area surveys, with up to 3,5 hours flight time. With an extraordinary durability Astero can withstand approx. 50G impact on landing. The Astero is equipped with a changeable payload integration, which allows multiple possibilities for optional payload. Due to the aircraft’s unique durability and changeable payload, it is possible to change the payload as new technology becomes available. Once the aircraft is hand-launched, the Astero automatically flies its predefined mission and lands again at a predefined landing point. Manual control is also possible during the flight.
