The Emesent Hovermap ST-X and ST lidars are excellent payloads for creating detailed, accurate lidar point clouds, while enabling operations in challenging, GPS-denied environments.

Hovermap can interact with Astro as a passive payload, for mapping applications that can be flown with good GPS signal in open spaces with few obstacles.
Hovermap can also use the lidar data of the environment around Astro, and build a 3D model in real time. It can use that data for obstacle avoidance, and even allow Astro to autonomously explore GPS-denied areas like under bridges and inside tunnels and mines.
