Image Of the Day caption:
WHOI engineers examine the underside of remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Jason while prepping it for tests on the WHOI dock. A $2.4 million upgrade by the National Science Foundation (NSF) made Jason even more capable, including increasing its lift capability from 400 pounds to 2 tons of scientific samples and instruments. A key reason for the upgrade was to enable Jason to efficiently perform maintenance to seafloor infrastructure related to the NSF-funded Ocean Observatories Initiative and to Ocean Networks Canadas cabled observatories. WHOI operates Jason on behalf the nation's ocean scientists as part of the National Deep Submergence Facility (NDSF).
