UNDERSEA EXPLORATION ROBOTS CRITICAL IN SEARCH FOR MISSING SUBMERSIBLE
ROVs have been used for undersea exploration since at least the mid-1980s, according to deep-sea explorer Katy Croff Bell, who is president of Ocean Discovery League. It's not the only commercially available equipment onboard the submersible, according to OceanGate Expeditions' website. "It's meant for a 16 year old to throw it around," said Rush, who is the Titan's pilot and among the five people missing.
The company and the Mi'kmaq band co-own the Polar Prince, which is the research vessel that launched the Titan. Looking back on his own 2021 dive to the Titanic, an early OceanGate passenger says one must be"a little bit crazy."
