      The MOLA MOLA autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), given the scientific name of the Ocean Sunfish, is used to collect photos of the seafloor. 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.

          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.
