Watch as scientists commission the use of a drone to survey an arboretum so they can map all of its trees.

SPACE EXPLORATION Drones have found uses beyond surveying the Earth. NASA scientists are developing a variety of drones to aid with space exploration and research. Drones are crucial in space exploration because they allow dangerous and unknown environments to be explored without endangering human life. Scientists use the information gathered by these rovers to make observations about our solar system. Some people speculate that the information gathered during Mars missions might help in determining if humans could colonize Mars in the future.
