Port of Baltimore - Star Spangled Spectacular - NOAA Okeanos Explorer  2 of 3 >
Sept. 12, 2014 - NOAA Okeanos Explorer's remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
The ROV works in tandem with Seirios camera sled (below).  While the ROV is on the floor the Seirios sled can be positioned about 50 meters above providing situational awareness; its lights can illuminate an area the size of a football field.
Everything must withstand the immense pressures of ocean depths.  Tubing with mineral oil helps protect the wiring.
