It follows a pre-programmed mission plan untethered from its support ship as it conducts surveys to a depth of 2000 meters. MOLA MOLA has been used to study corals, geological features, deep-sea biological communities, and an 1800�s shipwreck in the northern Gulf of Mexico. </gco:CharacterString> </gmi:description> <gmi:instrument> <gmi:MI_Instrument> <gmi:identifier> <gmd:MD_Identifier> <gmd:code> <gco:CharacterString> VOYIS Insight Micro </gco:CharacterString> </gmd:code> </gmd:MD_Identifier> </gmi:identifier> <gmi:type> <gco:CharacterString> Camera </gco:CharacterString> </gmi:type> <gmi:description> <gco:CharacterString xmlns:gco="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gco"> The primary sensor is the VOYIS centrally-mounted color camera. Uniform illumination is provided in the pitch-black deep-sea environment by fore and aft LED arrays. A laser line projector and secondary camera are used to map the seafloor, producing complementary topographic data useful in interpreting the photo survey. </gco:CharacterString> </gmi:description> </gmi:MI_Instrument> </gmi:instrument> </gmi:MI_Platform>
