Splashdown
The mission began today as the aquanauts splashed down to begin their stay among the fish. They hit the water a little bit later than expected due to a problem with the chiller that keeps the inside of Aquarius cool and dry. Our fearless crew came to the rescue, loaded a replacement on a boat, and did the underwater exchange in record time. Add rough seas to the morning and it has been a busy day for all, already. Great job gang!
The team underwater is now setting up scientific instrumentation on the seafloor and gearing up for their first broadcast from beneath the sea! Stay tuned as they begin their stay in Aquarius and underwater classroom sessions this afternoon starting at 2pm, with a second presentation at 7pm (eastern standard time) tonight…..live from the reef.
