During a March expedition on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s ship Okeanos Explorer, an onshore engineer more than a thousand miles away, piloted a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to explore the depths of the Florida Straits. A first for NOAA Ocean Exploration and the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration, this test opens possibilities for deep-ocean exploration. “Telepresence technology has been a game changer for deep-ocean exploration,” NOAA officials said. It changed who, when, how, and from where it could be done. NOAA Ocean Exploration is the only federal program dedicated to exploring the deep ocean.
