The technology can also be used to monitor missing persons, suspects on the run, and identify illegal activity by law enforcement, leading to cost-saving. Agriculture and Assessment Drones offer an inexpensive option that helps farmers visit remote areas of their farms regularly. It can be used to treat crops with on-board sprays with better accuracy and enable farmers to treat the fields more quickly instead of traditional machinery that will require farmers to drive machinery long distances or procure different machines to be kept in the area.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Crew Dragon spacecraft with NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Michael Hopkins, Shannon Walker, and also Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), into orbit to start a six-month science mission aboard the space station. An international crew of astronauts is on the way to the International Space Station on the heels of a successful launch on the first NASA-certified commercial human spacecraft system in history. NASA's SpaceX Crew-1 mission took off at 7:27 p.m. EST Sunday from Launch Complex 39A at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Crew Dragon spacecraft with NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Michael Hopkins, Shannon Walker, and also Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), into orbit to start a six-month science mission aboard the space station. "NASA is delivering on its commitment to the American people and our international partners to provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective missions to the International Space Station using American private industry," stated NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. "This is an important mission for NASA, SpaceX and our partners at JAXA, and we look forward to watching this crew arrive at station to carry on our partnership for all of humanity." The Crew Dragon spacecraft, named Resilience, has docked autonomously to the forward port of the station's Harmony module around 11 p.m. Monday, November 16. NASA Television and the agency's website are providing ongoing live coverage through docking, hatch opening, and the ceremony to welcome the crew aboard the orbiting laboratory. "I could not be more proud of the work we've done here today," stated Gwynne Shotwell, president and chief operating officer of SpaceX. "Falcon 9 looked great, Dragon was dropped off into a beautiful orbit about 12 minutes into the mission, and we'll get more data as we go." The astronauts named the Crew Dragon spacecraft Resilience to honor the effort and dedication teams have put into the mission and show their teamwork. They named it in honor of their colleagues, families, and fellow citizens. Hopkins, Walker, Glover, and Noguchi would join the Expedition 64 crew of Commander Sergey Ryzhikov as well as Flight Engineer Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, both of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, and Flight Engineer Kate Rubins of NASA.

Sagetech is an aerospace technology company, empowering safe flight in unmanned aircraft with the world's most reliable UAV transponders. Sagetech Avionics, an innovative technology company providing industry-leading safety solutions for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), and Kraus Hamdani Aerospace, a leading UAS technology company, announced that they have completed the integration of Sagetech's UAV transponders with the world's leading open-source autopilot, ArduPilot. The two companies successfully tested the new integration onboard the K1000 Ultra Long Endurance (K1000ULE) UAV, the world's longest endurance, and fully electric aircraft in its size and weight category. "We're thrilled to provide UAV innovators like Kraus Hamdani with reliable, integrated transponders for new platforms," stated Sagetech Avionics CEO Tom Furey. "The integration of time-proven systems like ArduPilot and Sagetech's ADS-B transponders ensures the safe flight of unmanned aircraft in controlled airspace, over long ranges, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), and at night." "The use of transponders in compliance with aviation standards is a key step to advancing the UAV industry for safe integration into controlled airspace," said Kraus Hamdani Aerospace CTO and co-founder, Stefan Kraus. "Coupled with our contributions to the ArduPilot community for Sagetech's low SWaP XP transponder, our fully autonomous K1000ULE platform can safely operate for extended periods in controlled airspace and at medium to-high altitudes while carrying out complex missions," said Kraus. Through the partnership with Kraus Hamdani Aerospace, Sagetech adds ArduPilot support to its extensive list of autopilots that natively integrate with its XP Series of UAV transponders.
