Survey-Grade Accuracy. Hollywood Precision. USA-Built.

Freefly has spent two decades building the world’s most precise aerial imaging platforms for Hollywood and industry. The Astro Map packages that same technology into a complete turnkey survey kit — the Freefly Astro airframe, LR1 61MP Sony a7R IV mapping camera, Pilot Pro controller, batteries, chargers, and airline-checkable SKB case — all ready to capture survey-grade orthomosaics, 3D models, and point clouds from day one.

Freefly Astro Airframe

4-Motor USA-Made Commercial Platform

Engineered in Woodinville, WA with 21" high-efficiency folding props, IP43 ingress protection, and L1/L2 RTK-ready GNSS. Booms fold flat for rapid pack-out into the included SKB rolling travel case — airline checkable.

✓ 4× high-torque motors + Freefly ESC

✓ IP43 ingress protection

✓ -20°C to 50°C operating range

✓ FAA Standard Remote ID pre-installed

LR1 — 61MP Sony Mapping Camera

NDAA Compliant · Blue UAS Listed

The LR1 payload houses a 61MP Sony a7R IV sensor in a vibration-isolated gimbal with interchangeable lens options (24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm). Captures 220+ acres per flight at 2cm GSD. Add thermal or laser rangefinder in minutes.

✓ 61MP full-frame Sony a7R IV sensor

✓ 24mm / 35mm / 50mm / 75mm lens options

✓ Optional thermal + laser rangefinder add-ons

✓ Geotagged imagery with RTK precision

Pilot Pro Controller

Professional Ground Control System

Ships with Herelink 1.1 2.4 GHz radio and a pre-configured Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5. Hall-effect gimbals for precise camera/gimbal control, 6+ hr runtime, double safety kill-switch, and velocity clamp controls for inspection-speed flight.

✓ Herelink 1.1 radio (2.4 GHz)

✓ Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 included

✓ 6+ hour controller runtime

✓ Dual kill-switch for safety

Astro Map Platform Capabilities

220+ Acres Per Flight

A single 28-minute flight covers 220+ acres at 2cm GSD resolution — enough for most medium-scale survey projects in a single battery set. Plan and execute missions autonomously with Auterion Mission Control on the included Samsung tablet.

RTK Centimeter Accuracy

L1/L2 dual-frequency GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo GNSS delivers precise positioning throughout every mission. Add the optional Freefly RTK Ground Station to achieve centimeter-level GCP-free accuracy on survey-grade deliverables.

Auterion Enterprise PX4

The Freefly Skynode flight controller runs Auterion Enterprise PX4 — the same commercial autopilot trusted by hundreds of enterprise drone programs globally. Fully autonomous waypoint missions, Return to Land, altitude hold, and Auterion Suite fleet management.

LTE + Cloud Connectivity

Built-in LTE (North America), WiFi, BLE, and USB-C provide real-time telemetry and fleet monitoring via Auterion Suite. The onboard Cortex-A53 mission computer enables edge processing and live data review without a separate ground PC.

Smart Dovetail Payload System

The LR1 mounts on Freefly’s industry-standard Smart Dovetail quick-release — swap payloads in seconds with no tools, no recalibration. Upgrade to thermal, LiDAR, multispectral, or gas imaging sensors the same day without any airframe changes.

NDAA & Blue UAS Compliant

Both the Astro airframe and LR1 camera are NDAA compliant and DIU Blue UAS listed, making the Astro Map the leading choice for federal, defense, public safety, and DOI programs that require domestically-manufactured drone equipment.

Key Use Cases

🗺️ Survey & Cadastral Mapping

Generate legally-defensible survey deliverables with the 61MP LR1 and optional RTK Ground Station. Pair with Esri Sitescan, Pix4Dmapper, or DroneDeploy for orthomosaic maps, contour lines, and volumetric calculations on large sites in a single flight.

🏗️ Construction Progress & BIM

Capture weekly or daily progress flights over active construction sites to generate photogrammetric 3D models for BIM integration, cut/fill analysis, and earthwork calculations. The Astro Map’s 61MP imagery resolves rebar, forms, and grade stakes with precision.

⛏️ Mining & Aggregate Volumes

Replace costly traditional surveys at quarries, stockpile yards, and mine sites with rapid drone missions. The 220+ acre range and 2cm GSD accuracy deliver stockpile volume calculations that meet engineering-grade standards without ground crews in hazardous areas.

🌿 Agriculture & Crop Health

Add the LR1 Thermal Upgrade or Sentera 6X Multispectral in minutes to transition from RGB mapping to precision agriculture. Capture NDVI, NDRE, and thermal data across hundreds of acres per flight for early stress detection and variable-rate prescriptions.

📍 GIS & Land Management

Capture high-resolution base imagery for GIS layers, vegetation mapping, floodplain delineation, and land use analysis. Compatible with ArcGIS, QGIS, and Esri Sitescan workflows. The Astro Map’s NDAA status makes it ideal for federal land management agencies.

⚡ Infrastructure & Corridor Inspection

The 61MP sensor resolves fine surface detail on pipelines, roads, levees, and transmission lines from safe standoff distances. Add the LR1 Thermal Upgrade for concurrent thermal anomaly detection. Swap to the Emesent Hovermap for GPS-denied LiDAR inspection.
