The photo above depicts Optitrack Motion Capture System which allows you to set up the virtual coordinates. The big picture problem is that GPS probably gives you the wrong flight data because you mostly do experiment inside the lab. Solving this partially or completely is important because it will help you do the mission with given virtual coordinates so you won't necessarily need GPS. This tutorial shows you how to run Optitrack Motion Capture System and takes approximately 15 hours to complete.
