Summary
Using flight simulators and drones you will master the basic principles of flight and use these skills to collect and analyse information to help them decide whether a planet is suitable for habitation.
Narrative
Your crew have encountered and rescued group of civilians from an abandoned cargo ship. Upon investigation you discover that they are the last remaining members of their species who have fled their home planet after it was recently destroyed in an intergalactic war. The rescued civilians have asked you to take them to the closest suitable uninhabited planet for them to colonise. Work as a team to fly multiple drones across inaccessible terrain to monitor for signs of life and collect important meteorological data. Analyse the data collected and make recommendations about the suitability of the planet for colonisation.
