Orbital planning
Plan orbital missions around a single object, across an area, or along a strip. Choose from single, area, and strip orbit routes to suit your survey.

Single orbit around an object
Plan a circular capture route around an individual target. Orbital flight is designed to collect imagery for detailed 3D modeling.
Stack orbits at multiple heights
Vertical multi-orbit planning repeats the orbit at different heights around the same object. The guide highlights this mode for detailed 3D capture of individual buildings.
Cover an area with overlapping orbits
Within a polygon, set orbit radius and spacing to arrange overlapping circles in rows and columns. Combine area orbits with KML boundaries and automatic blocks for larger, irregular sites.
Combine orbits with terrain following
Apply DEM-based terrain following to orbital routes. The guide shows how orbit planning, boundary import, and automatic blocks can work together over uneven terrain.
Follow a corridor with a sequence of orbits
Combine corridor and orbit planning to capture along a linear site. KML import and terrain following can be combined with the route for winding corridors and changing terrain.
