    Two workers wearing orange high-visibility vests and white hard hats are preparing a fixed-wing UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) for launch on a gravel surface. The scene appears to be an outdoor industrial or construction site, with a white pickup truck visible in the background. Strong backlighting from the sun creates lens flare and long shadows across the ground.

    Brett Dokken and Stephen Marshall, unmanned aerial vehicle pilot contractors, prepare a civilian drone for takeoff at Melrose, New Mexico, Aug. 17, 2018. The drone was used to monitor railroads for BNSF Railway. Part of the path was over Cannon Air Force Base’s air space, which after coordination, was approved, making the drone the first ever civilian drone to be approved to fly over the base.
