Plan and Review Missions
========================

Use the **Mission** workspace to open the mission list, start a new mission
definition, and review the visible actions for pushing or starting live
missions.

**Navigation:** Menu > ``Mission``

Before You Start
----------------

- Connect the target asset before using live mission actions.
- Confirm the aircraft is safe before using **Push** or **Start**.

Steps
-----

1. Open **Mission** to review the current mission list and pushed mission
   state.

   :alt: Mission list view
   :align: center

   Step 1: Mission list view

2. Review the mission panel. The main mission screen exposes **Create**,
   **Import**, and the current **Pushed Mission** state before you open a
   mission editor.

   Step 2: Mission action bar

3. Click **Create** to open the mission details view.

   Step 3: Mission details opened from Create

4. Fill in **Mission Title**, **Mission Altitude**, and **Mission Flight
   Speed** before adding mission items.

   Step 4: Mission details editor

5. Use **Basic** or **Survey** to add mission content to the new mission.

   Step 5: Add mission items

6. Review the **Save**, **Push**, and **Start** controls in the mission
   editor. **Push** remains unavailable until the mission contains the
   required items and the current operating state allows it.

   Step 6: Push and Start controls

.. caution::

   **Push** and **Start** affect the live mission state of the connected
   aircraft. Treat both actions as operational controls, not preview-only
   actions.

Expected Result
---------------

You can reach the mission workspace, create a new mission draft, and identify
the controls used to save, push, or start mission execution.

Troubleshooting
---------------

- If **Create** opens an empty mission editor, that is expected for a new
  mission draft.
- If **Push** stays unavailable, add the required mission items first and
  confirm an active asset is connected.
- If no saved missions appear, create or import a mission before expecting
  mission history in the list.
