There is only one submersible in the world that on any given day can dive, taking its pilot and one other person, to the deepest parts of the ocean. To reach the bottom of the Challenger Deep, Caladan Oceanic’s Deep Submergence Vehicle (DSV) Limiting Factor, descends through the water column for four hours. By the tenth minute of the 11 … Read More about How deep is the ocean? Mapping, measuring, and diving to the Mariana Trench’s Challenger Deep
RBRlegato³ C.T.D & RTSYS NemoSens
RTSYS has integrated the RBRlegato3 C.T.D on the NemoSens© micro-AUV for low-power measurements of temperature, pressure, salinity, and sound velocity. The NemoSens is a 90cm long micro-AUV and an evolution of the RTSYS range of larger AUVs. It is lightweight, easy-to-use, modular, and intended for water quality, hydrographic, and acoustic surveys, building on RTSYS’s years of acoustics experience. NemoSens uses … Read More about RBRlegato³ C.T.D & RTSYS NemoSens
