Voyages of Discovery: NOAA's Okeanos Explorer: Deep Sea Discoveries (Webcast)

Running Time:
00:27:04

Look over the shoulders of ocean explorers as they map and send their ROV into the little-known and unknown regions of the deep sea. "Voyages of Discovery" connects the Exploratorium with NOAA's newest ship, the Okeanos Explorer, currently in the Pacific Ocean near Indonesia, as it carries out its first exploration voyage. In this program, we connect live with marine scientists at the Okeanos' Exploration Command Center in Seattle, learn about the mission's latest discoveries and see new video of some of the amazing animals they've encountered on their mission.

More about the Exploratorium website: 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.
