1. A method, comprising: within a user interface, receiving a selection for a set of interest points on a digital map of a physical area; based on the set of interest points, selecting a ground area for imaging during a mission; generating a flight path over the ground area for execution by an unmanned aerial vehicle during the mission, the flight path defining an imaging flight path for capturing images of the ground area, a first landing path specifying a landing site and associated with a first environmental condition, and a second landing path specifying the landing site and associated with a second environmental condition distinct from the first environmental condition; retrieving a current environmental condition proximal the landing site during execution of the flight path by an unmanned aerial vehicle during the mission; selecting the first landing path for the unmanned aerial vehicle based on a similarity between the first environmental condition of the first landing path and the current environmental condition proximal the landing site; and transmitting a command to the unmanned aerial vehicle to execute the first landing path.
