    description:   Deep Discoverer, or "D2", is a 6,000m rated ocean exploration remotely operated vehicle (ROV). Operating from the NOAA ship Okeanos Explorer (R337), D2 is part of an advanced two-body tethered system. Its two high definition cameras and 16,600 lumens of hydraulically positionable LED lights produce broadcast-quality high definition video streamed live to internet connections around the world via telepresence. Navigational sensors, including a fiber optic gyroscope and doppler velocity log, 40HP of electric propulsion, and an integrated control system capable of precise auto-pilot flight and station-keeping, allow pilots to image the most obscure objects of the subsea world. D2 transmits real-time sensor measurements of conductivity, temperature, depth, pressure, and more through its high speed fiber optic communications. Additionally, a hydraulic pump powers two 7-function manipulators and an extendable utility drawer. Three large syntactic foam blocks give D2 the ability to install up to 400 lbs of additional equipment making Deep Discoverer a very flexible platform for ocean exploration.
