# Planning a Mission

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

## In IGC, navigate to Plan view to begin a mission.

![](/files/4ce4580948c88140ff2ffde0cc2dfd6b8b411865)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## On the left, select “File”.

Select your plan type (IE, “Survey”).

![](/files/f6cc7c531e3452ac59776882cd9a2a4c2dd483ff)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## On the right, navigate to the “Survey” tab.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## On top of Plan Map View, select polygon shape (“Basic”).

![](/files/e8e72786bca822bb46b75dc5c9e9f3655c2627e7)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Arrange the survey area as needed.

Adjust overlap, altitude, etc as needed.

![](/files/1c477348d8922643c27d481a9085aef2a25159f5)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## On the right, navigate to the camera tab icon under Survey tab.

![](/files/f7ebf23905345cbfa3f58f53d48116fb6c62b338)

In the first dropdown, find and select the “Gremsy” option.

In the following dropdown, find and select your VIO model.

This will execute the mission with the VIO as the mapping payload.

Note: If capturing visible and IR at the same time (see [Camera Controls and Settings on IGC](/payloads/vio/case-study/gremsy-vio-x-if800/camera-controls-and-settings-on-igc.md)), we recommend using the "Vio F1 (IR)" setting, as this will have the maximum overlap for both images.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## To finish, upload the mission.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.gremsy.com/payloads/vio/case-study/gremsy-vio-x-if800/planning-a-mission.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
