What every mission
actually delivers.

Every Atlas mission produces the same core set of deliverables, in the same formats, at the same quality tier — regardless of whether the site is a 2-acre property or a 200-acre mine. Here's exactly what each one is, what it's good for, and what it looks like in the ground truth.

Pre-flight

No published sample flights yet. Atlas is in the pre-mission phase — the equipment bundle is spec'd, the operating stack is running, and Part 107 certification is booked. The deliverable specs below are the same specs you'll see on every real mission once we're flying. This page auto-updates when sample work ships.

Six deliverables, every mission

Each mission produces the same standard set. Every file is georeferenced, every dataset is processed locally, and every delivery is reproducible from the source images.

01 / Raster
Georeferenced Orthomosaic

A single stitched top-down image of the entire site, color-balanced and corrected for lens distortion. Coordinate-accurate — you can measure between any two pixels.

Format
GeoTIFF (.tif)
Size
0.5–5 GB
Accuracy
±2 cm
Projection
WGS 84 / UTM

Typical useSite documentation · baseline imagery · historical change detection

02 / Geometry
3D Point Cloud

Millions of 3D points representing every surface the drone could see. Classified into ground, vegetation, and structures. Imports directly into CAD, GIS, and modeling software.

Format
LAS · LAZ
Size
100 MB–2 GB
Density
100–500 pts/m²
Classified
yes

Typical useVolumetrics · terrain analysis · CAD import · slope studies

03 / Surface
Textured 3D Mesh

A polygonal model of the site with photo-realistic textures baked from the source imagery. What you'd put in a renderer or a client presentation — not a measurement tool, but a visual one.

Format
OBJ · FBX
Size
200 MB–3 GB
Texture
up to 4K tiles
Topology
triangulated

Typical useVisual walkthroughs · CGI · marketing renders · design reviews

04 / Models
Digital Surface & Terrain Models

Raster grids where each pixel encodes elevation. DSM includes everything visible from above (buildings, trees); DTM is the bare-earth version. Pair them for structure extraction.

Format
GeoTIFF (.tif)
Size
50–500 MB
GSD
< 5 cm
Type
DSM + DTM

Typical useSlope analysis · flood modeling · hydrology · watershed mapping

05 / Report
Volume & Cut/Fill Report

When the job is accounting — stockpile volumes, excavation progress, earthwork billing — you need a number, not a point cloud. This is the number, with the raster diff map that proves it.

Format
PDF + GeoTIFF
Size
10–100 MB
Volume tol.
±1%
Includes
cut/fill diff

Typical useMining accounting · earthwork billing · monthly progress tracking

06 / Immersive
NeRF & Gaussian Splat

Interactive, photo-realistic scene representations you can fly through in a web viewer. Newer format, experimental pipeline, shipped on request when visual immersion matters more than strict measurement.

Format
PLY · .splat
Size
100 MB–1 GB
Viewer
web-based
Status
on request

Typical useProperty marketing · pre-construction vis · immersive walkthroughs

Recent flights

Sample deliverables from real missions appear here as they ship. Each entry is a published, downloadable artifact — no marketing renders, no synthetic data. If the section below is empty, we're still in pre-flight.
