Now, I am building a solar powered UAV, with the aim to keep it in the sky practically forever. I plan to add a micro camera onto it, so that anyone anywhere in the world can track where the plane is, get it's telemetry, and see the live footage ( delayed slightly ofc due to low speed connections ).
