Image Of the Day caption:
Crew members Paul Katz, Robert Arthur, and Peter Bouchard (front to back) practice using the new launch and recovery system (LARS) on R/V Neil Armstrong, visible in the background. The LARS enables automated deployment and recovery of equipment over the ship's starboard side and is also equipped with sensors that allow it to compensate for ship motion to keep an instrument almost motionless in the water column. Come down to the WHOI dock today from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to get up close to the ship, meet scientists and crew, and see some of the instruments that make ocean science possible.
