Okeanos Explorer (EX1102): ROV Shakedown Cruise
Vessel: NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer; Expedition Dates: April 4 - 28, 2011
Project Principals: Kelley Elliott, NOAA/OAR/OER (Expedition Coordinator); Elizabeth Lobecker, NOAA/OAR/OER (Mapping Lead)
This project plan covered the dockside integration of the new OER camera platform into Okeanos Explorer systems and ROV control room, as well as the subsequent shakedown cruise associated with performance and operation of this tandem system using the Institute for Exploration (IFE) Little Hercules ROV as the main vehicle. Shore-based scientists worked simultaneously with the ship via telepresence.
