Within minutes of its arrival, a "preplanning" system that the team had built with help from Science Applications International Corporation, a major defense contractor, began overlaying the race area with imagery drawn from a 1.8-terabyte database containing three-foot-resolution satellite and aerial photographs, digital-elevation models and laser-scanned road profiles gathered during nearly 3,000 miles of reconnaissance driving in the Mojave.
