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. sponsor: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov//docucomp/aea985b0-968f-11e0-aa80-0800200c9a66 title: NOAA/OAR/OER Ocean Exploration and Research (owner) sponsor: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov//docucomp/99fd1600-e1fd-11df-85ca-0800200c9a66 title: NOAA/OAR/OER Ocean Exploration and Research (custodian) sponsor: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov//docucomp/ED9AF398-D6CF-A63A-D75D527D366248F3 title: NOAA/OAR/OER Ocean Exploration and Research (resource provider) sponsor: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov//docucomp/08D95C427FB128479945893256DADE37 title: NOAA/OAR/OER - Ocean Exploration and Research (POC) instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov//docucomp/dd62f610-69cc-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 title: Insite Pacific Zeus Plus HDTV Color Zoom Camera instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov//docucomp/40a75610-69cf-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 title: Insite Pacific Mini Zeus High Definition Camera instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov//docucomp/33e19fa0-338c-11e4-8c21-0800200c9a66 title: Insite Titan Tilt and Rotate Color Zoom Camera instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov//docucomp/e589aa40-338c-11e4-8c21-0800200c9a66 title: Insite Aurora Camera instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov//docucomp/45080730-69c6-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 title: SeaBird SBE-911 Plus CTD with Dissolved Oxygen Sensor instrument: xlink: https://data.noaa.gov//docucomp/ba20baf0-338d-11e4-8c21-0800200c9a66 title: Insite Nova Camera |
