# Mission Integration

The Mission Integration feature allows users to associate connected weather stations with flight missions in NOVA. This enables operators to compare live local weather data with model forecasts and radar data.

## Assigning Weather Stations to a Mission

Weather stations can be associated with a mission [during mission creation](#during-mission-creation) or by [editing an existing mission](#editing-an-existing-mission).

### During Mission Creation

When creating a new mission through the [**Mission Wizard**](/nova/get-started/create-a-new-mission.md)**:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Proceed through the mission wizard until you reach the **Assign weather stations** section.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
NOVA will automatically pre-select weather stations that are close to the mission location based on the *station-specific radius*. The station-specific radius is selected when connecting the weather station.

You can manually override this pre-selection and select a specific weather station by clicking `SHOW ALL WEATHER STATIONS` and selecting weather stations that are further away.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Editing an Existing Mission

To add a weather station to an existing mission:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Locate the mission in your missions list.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the mission and click **edit mission** to modify the mission settings.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
In the edit mission dialog, add a weather station in the corresponding select box.
