Image of The Day caption:
The hybrid remotely operated vehicle (HROV) Nereus is raised onto the research vessel Kilo Moana after testing in the waters off Hawaii. The new vehicle--which pushes the limits of fiber optics and ceramic pressure housings--is designed to reach the absolute deepest parts of the ocean, which no vehicle in the world can currently reach.
Annual Report caption:
The hybrid remotely operated vehicle (HROV) Nereus is raised onto the research vessel Kilo Moana after open-water trials off Hawaii in November 2007. The new vehicle?which pushes the limits of fiber-optic technology and ceramic pressure housings?was designed by the Deep Submergence Lab to reach the deepest parts of the ocean as either an autonomous, free-swimming robot or as a tethered vehicle.
