The Okeanos Explorer is the first vessel in the fleet of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) dedicated solely to exploration and discovery missions. Equipped with a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), multibeam sonar technology for mapping the sea floor, and 24-hour satellite telecommunications equipment, the Okeanos Explorer is primed for making new discoveries with each mission. Follow along with the Okeanos Explorer and venture into the vast and largely unknown ocean.
