![]() | Voyages of Discovery: NOAA's Okeanos Explorer The Okeanos Explorer is the newest vessel in NOAA's fleet and the first to be dedicated solely to exploration and discovery missions. It's equipped with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), sophisticated multibeam sonar technology for mapping the sea floor as deep as 6000 meters (nearly 20,000 feet), and 24-hour satellite telecommunications equipment to beam images in real time from the ship and ROV to destinations on shore. The Okeanos Explorer will map and explore the world's ocean depths, primed for making new discoveries with every mission it undertakes. The ship's first voyage will be to the waters off Indonesia in a joint mission with Indonesian scientists to investigate the deep reefs and active fault zones of one of the world's most diverse ecosystems. Venture into the vast and largely unknown ocean and follow along with the Okeanos Explorer scientists and crew on their discovery voyages.

| Ice Stories: Dispatches from Polar Scientists What's it like to be a research scientist working in the Arctic and Antarctica? For the International Polar Year, we gave polar scientists cameras and blogs and asked them to document their field work in real time. Webcasts, produced at the poles, are an ongoing part of the project. Browse all programs for this project | Subscribe Visit this website. | ||
