Designing for the deep
July 2, 2009The Deep Submergence Laboratory’s mission is to further human understanding of the deep-sea floor by developing systems for remote, unmanned exploration. Here MIT/WHOI Joint Program Student Jordan Stanway tests propellers for the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Sentry. AUVs are used when long-term monitoring of the ocean or seafloor is needed. Research completed with autonomous and remotely operated vehicles provides major contributions to the understanding of deep-sea geological, chemical and biological processes at mid-ocean ridges.
