⚡Scan a crashed probe and courier then repair the Gondola Protoype east of the east Spaceport elevator and activate it.

Arc Raiders' To the Skies quest involves finding a few arc parts to repair one of the Prototype Gondolas being used to shuttle raiders to Pendola Pass.

First things first, to complete To the Skies you're going to need a variety of arc parts:

1x Arc Performance Steel: Salvaged from big arcs like Bastions, Bombardiers, Leapers, or Baron Husks.
1x Pop Trigger: Salvaged from small exploding Pop robots or couriers.
1x Arc Thermo Lining: Salvaged from Pops, Fireballs, or Baron Husks.
1x Arc Synthetic Resin: Salvaged from intact Arc Probes or Baron Husks.

There are a number of other ways to get the materials above, generally by salvaging arc enemies, so if you don't have one of each yet, keep your eyes peeled.

The first step is to scan a crashed Arc Probe and an Arc Courier. These spawn on almost every map and you can find them by following smoke plumes and looking for their icon when you're close on the map. Your best bet for finding lots is the Electromagnetic Storm map condition (you can see the current event schedule here). To scan them, simply interact with the icon at the head of each.

After this, you'll have to find and repair the Gondola Prototype on any one of four maps—I did it on Spaceport, so that's the one I'll show you. Grab those listed arc materials and head to the spot above, just east of the eastern exfil elevator, north of Communications Tower and south of East Plains Warehouses.

There, you'll find the Gondola Prototype resting on its side on some crates by a raider structure. Now just install those four parts and interact to activate the Gondola Prototype and complete the quest, though you might want to back away from it a bit.
