Multi-Disciplinary Investigation of Guyamas Basin Using Manned and Unmanned Vehicles Via Shore-based Satellite Network

一个多学科的努力将增加一个主要的，多媒体， 计划在海岸外的瓜伊马斯盆地进行的教育探险 定于1993年2月底和3月初在墨西哥举行。 的 该计划的教育方面由JASON资助 教育基金会和海军作战部副部长。 科学家们将使用载人潜水器和远程 操作的潜水器系统，以探测海底并进行 实验 海上调查人员将现场视频从 安装在水下航行器上的摄像机通过卫星与其他 科学家和学生在全国各地的几个地点。 与此同时，岸上的科学家们在他们的实验室里， 能够控制水下遥控器的多种功能， 车辆被淹没时。这次探险相当于 使用现代奥恰诺的远程呈现的重要海底测试- 图像和卫星通信技术。 国家科学基金会的资金将允许这些海底的扩展使用 超出JASON要求的系统和通信链路 项目的教育目的。 NSF赞助的海洋科学家 将能够测试和评估这些现代的有效性， 控制水下航行器的水下能力， 远程海底观测和操纵某些基本的 海洋科学研究实验。

A multidisciplinary effort will augment a major, multi-media, educational expedition planned for the Guaymas Basin off the coast of Mexico scheduled for late February and early March 1993. The educational aspects of this program are being funded by the JASON Foundation for Education and the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations. Scientists will be using a manned submersible and a remotely operated vehicle system to explore the seafloor and conduct experiments. Investigators at sea will transmit live video from cameras mounted on the underwater vehicles via satellite to other scientists and students at several sites across the country. Concurrently, scientists ashore in their laboratories will also be able to control several functions of the remotely operated undersea vehicles while they are submerged. The expedition amounts to a significant undersea test of telepresence using modern oceano- graphic and satellite communications technologies. The NSF funds will permit the extended use of these undersea systems and communications links beyond that required for the JASON Project's educational purposes. NSF-sponsored ocean scientists will be able to test and assess the effectiveness of these modern undersea capabilities for controlling submerged vehicles and making seafloor observations remotely and for manipulating certain basic ocean science research experiments.
