REPRINT Hadal Manned Submersible
REPRINT Hadal Manned Submersible Five Deeps Expedition Explores Deepest Point in Every Ocean By Dr. Alan J. Jamieson • John Ramsey • Patrick Lahey he very deepest parts of the world’s oceans are sel- Tdom explored. Four of our five oceans extend to depths exceeding 6,000 m, putting them beyond the reach of most commercially available technologies and certainly beyond all human-occupied vehicles currently in operation. Scientific interest in these ultradeep ecosystems has greatly increased over the last decade, but technological Deeps Expedition) Five (Credit: limitations have favored the use of simple static lander vehicles over remotely operated or human-occupied ex- ploratory vehicles. The Five Deeps Expedition (FDE) is changing all that. In 2015, Victor Vescovo, an American private-equity in- vestor and explorer and founder of Caladan Oceanic, approached Triton Submarines in Florida with a vision to design, engineer, build, test and support a full-ocean- depth-capable and independently accredited two-person manned submersible, which he intended to dive to the deepest point in each of the five oceans over the course of a year-long expedition. In a little over three years, this vision became reality. In December 2018, Vescovo performed his first solo dive in a two-person, full-ocean-depth submersible to 8,376 m in the Puerto Rico Trench, and the expedition is now more than halfway through its journey. The FDE is supported by an international team of scientists, engineers, filmmakers and operational crew (both ship and submersible). The DSV Limiting Factor (Triton 36,000/2) being By the end of 2019, the Five Deeps Expedition, sup- deployed for testing in the Bahamas in 2018. -

Research submersible ICTINEU 3, a tool to serve the scientific community Carme Parareda SalaI, Pere Forès Malleu I IICTINEU Submarins ([email protected]) Introduction. The company ICTINEU Submarins has designed, developed and built a new generation of manned submersible. The vehilcle, named ICTINEU 3 as a tribute to Narcís Monturiol and his first Ictineus, is a modern submarine, designed and built with cutting-edge technology in order to achieve a very versatile and highly operational vehicle. It incorporates outstanding innovations with respect to the other submarines that are currently on the market, in terms of design, construction materials, and in particular its energy system. The ICTINEU 3 is a scientific submersible, a work class vehicle with high capabilities for work, observation and intervention. It has been designed for 1.200 meters depth, and a crew of three: one pilot and two observers (passengers). It will be certified and classified by Germanischer Lloyd according to the highest standards of quality and safety. Design and performance. When the team though about building a submersible, the first thing in mind was science and ocean exploration. All the development of the vehicle has been focussed on achieving a very versatile tool, capable for a wide range of tasks, from ocean observation to industrial works and even leisure, but always focusing on research capabilities. So at the design phase it was decided that it had to be easy in operation, highly automated and efficient. The main goals to be achieved were: high observation capabilities, very low weight (<6 tones), easy to transport and operate worldwide, highly operational and passenger access from sea. -

Geoscientific Investigations of the Southern Mariana Trench and the Challenger Deep B B St U T T D Ll Challenger Deep
Geoscientific Investigations of the Southern Mariana Trench and the Challenger Deep B b St U T t D ll Challenger Deep • Deepest point on Earth’s solid surface: ~10,900 m (~35,800’) • Captures public imagination: ~23 million hits on Google • Lower scientific impact – top publication has 181 citations. • Why the disconnect? On March 23, 1875, at station 225 between Guam and Palau, the crew recorded a sounding of 4,475 fathoms, (8,184 meters) deep. Modern soundings of 10,994 meters have since been found near the site of the Challenger’s original sounding. Challenger’s discovery of the deepest spot on Earth was a key finding of the expedition and now bears the vessel's name, the Challenger Deep. Mean depth of global ocean is ~3,700 m Talk outline 1.

The future of Deep Trench exploration Plate Tectonic Theory explains that the Earth’s solid surface consists of several large plates and many more smaller ones. Oceanic plates are produced at divergent plate boundaries (mid- ocean ridges, seafloor spreading) and destroyed at convergent plate boundaries (trenches, subduction). Challenger Deep occurs at a plate boundary… …between Pacific Plate and Philippine Sea Plate. Convergent Plate Boundaries are associated with oceanic trench and island arcs (like the Marianas) China The Mariana Arc is in the Western Japan Pacific, halfway between Japan Pacific Plate and Australia.

PRT Five Deeps Dive Release FINAL1221
Contact: Stephanie Fitzherbert [email protected] First Human Reaches the Deepest Point in the Atlantic Ocean in Unprecedented Solo Submersible Dive Victor Vescovo completes the first dive in the Five Deeps Expedition to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, the Puerto Rico Trench Discovery Channel Capturing Expedition For Documentary Series DALLAS, TX (December 21, 2018) – In a historic feat, explorer Victor Vescovo became the first human to dive on a solo mission to the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean – the verified bottom of the Puerto Rico Trench at 8,376 meters/27,480 feet in his private submersible, the Limiting Factor. The trench was previously explored to approximately 8,300 meters by the French submersible Archimede in 1964, but it did not reach the deepest point. The dive also makes the Limiting Factor the deepest diving operational submersible in the world, surpassing the previous operational record-holder, the Chinese submersible Jiaolong which has reportedly reached a maximum depth of 7,062 meters. A groundbreaking documentary series about the expedition is also being filmed by Atlantic Productions for Discovery Channel, and will air in 2019/2020. "It was an extraordinary dive, and I am so proud of our international team for making it possible over the last few years. It felt great to get to the true bottom of the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in history and to prove the technical capabilities of this diving system, which we believe is now the deepest operational one in the world,” said Victor Vescovo. “We are really looking forward to continuing to the other dive sites, and continuing our technical and scientific goals." The Five Deeps Expedition is the first oceanic journey to take a manned, commercially- certified submersible vessel further and deeper than any in history. -
