**Welcome to the ESIP Drone Cluster.** We are an open community pursuing the use of unmanned aerial systems in Earth Science.
**Getting in contact:** [The ESIP Drone CLuster wiki] [6], contains details on our monthly telecons, how to contact us, and biannual ESIP meeting activities.
**Who we are:**
We are working on several ongoing projects including, developing resource catalogs, testing hardware and software, and a range of collaborations seeking to make drones easy to use, accessible, and reliable tools that enables innovative Earth Science to happen everwhere. If you're curious about why see our ["Why drones for science"][3] page, and for suggestions on getting started see our "[getting started"][4] and ["best practices" pages][5].
