Research Portion of Submersible Project

side view of Alvin underwater Alvin is the frist deep sea submersible that can carry passengers (people).  The maximum depth that Alvin can go down underwater is 14,764 ft. Alvin is like a space shuttle on space but Alvin is made for deep sea submersible that researchers can research undersea. Alvin weighs 37,400 lbs but so it can go deeper in the ocean and it runs by an electrical system powered by lead-acid batteries. And the air to breathe in the Alvin is five hydraulic thrusters.
three person submersible Clelia
Clelia is a still submersible that have video cameras, Two 500-watt metal halide lights so you can see underwater, andtake picture under the sea. it can lift up samples under the sea that weigh 150lbs. Clelia is balanced in midwater and it does not go all the way down to the bottom of the ocean. it can go down to 30-ft deep in the ocean.

Underwater view of RCV-150 as it is deployed from its steel cage. RCV-15 (ROV) can go less than 3000ft depth underwater. RCV includes a color video camera with zoom and focus controls, 1500 watts of lighting, micro CTD, Tritech imaging sonar, and a simple manipulator with a six inch cutoff wheel. RCV s controlled by a single pilot from a control console located in the tracking room of the support ship. It looks like a deep water operations inside its steel cage.






ROV Jason heading to work.
Jason (ROV) is a system where scientic can get research of the sea floors. Jason are designed to operate to a maximum depth of 6,500 meters (21,385 feet).
