Related: I’m still looking for leads and help on jobs, fellowships, and freelance contracts on drones, GIS, aid, disaster, OSINT, tech ethics, and journalism. I simply will not work for evil people and/or weapons manufacturers, which is also why I haven’t had paying work since Trump 2.0 began.

The only thing I know of in this category is NASA's Rangehawk program where they've gotten a couple RQ-4s from the Air Force and reworked them for scientific use.

Oh sorry I meant projects that I was personally familiar with as a lead to look into. I've done some work in the past with Rangehawks.

oh cool, I’d love to hear about that!

I was on the contractor side doing software engineering but basically they use them to observe what a rocket is doing during a test flight. It's mainly during times where what you can get from just surveying it from the ground or only internal sensors isn't enough.
