San Antonio Missions - Mission Espada

In the spring of 2010, CyArk collaborated with the National Park Service and Los Compadres, now known as Mission Heritage Partners, to digitally preserve San Antonio Missions National Historical Park. CyArk partnered with Critigen, a geospatial consulting company which used laser scanning and digital photography to document the missions. The 3D data was used by site managers for the continued preservation of the missions as well as the creation of interactive educational materials. The documentation was also used to inform the sites' application for inscription to the UNESCO World Heritage List, to which it was successfully inscribed in 2015. Located along the San Antonio River in Texas, the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park encompasses five Spanish Colonial sites: Mission Concepci, Mission Espada, Mission San Jos, Mission San Juan, and the Espada Aqueduct. These outposts were originally built to expand and defend the Spanish frontier and spread Christianity to local Native American populations, but also acted as centers of agricultural production, weaving, iron working, and carpentry. Today, the San Antonio Missions represent the largest collection of Spanish Colonial missions in the United States.

2010年春季，CyArk与美国国家公园管理局（National Park Service）以及原名为Los Compadres、现更名为传教遗产伙伴（Mission Heritage Partners）的机构携手，对圣安东尼奥传教区国家历史公园（San Antonio Missions National Historical Park）启动数字化保护项目。CyArk与地理空间咨询公司Critigen展开合作，该团队采用激光扫描与数码摄影技术对园内各传教站点进行建档留存。场地管理人员利用这批三维数据，既开展传教区的持续保护工作，也开发交互式教育素材。此外，该建档资料还为这些遗址申报联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录（UNESCO World Heritage List）提供了关键支撑，并助力其于2015年成功入选该名录。
该公园坐落于美国德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥河沿岸，涵盖五处西班牙殖民时期遗址：孔塞普西翁传教站（Mission Concepción）、埃斯帕达传教站（Mission Espada）、圣何塞传教站（Mission San José）、圣胡安传教站（Mission San Juan）以及埃斯帕达渡槽（Espada Aqueduct）。这些殖民据点最初旨在拓展与防卫西班牙边境，并向当地原住民群体传播基督教，同时也曾作为农业生产、纺织、铁器加工与木工技艺的核心运营中心。时至今日，圣安东尼奥传教区仍是美国境内规模最大的西班牙殖民时期传教站集群。
