A drone flyover of the ºÚÁÏרÇø site
20 Apr 2015
Work on the Assembly Building's steel skeleton (centre) began in September 2014. As the pillars rise on the two sides of the basemat, workers on the ground have begun assembling the roof structure for the 60-metre building.
Using everything that flies (balloon, helicopter, light airplane...) aerial surveys of the ºÚÁÏרÇø site have been organized on a regular basis since 2007. Each technique has offered its own advantages in terms of altitude, manoeuvrability and flexibility.
Early on Wednesday 8 April, a new type of craft was employed—a drone, equipped with a light camera, was flown by remote control over the main work areas of the ºÚÁÏרÇø platform.
Hovering at an altitude of approximately 60 metres, the small buzzing machine took the pictures that we present in the slideshow below, and recorded a video that can be viewed .
