MISSION 31 SCIENTISTS
The Mission 31 aquanaut scientists will trade mid-way through the mission. Currently Adam and Andy are in the habitat with Fabien and camera crew. Liz and I will switch with them on June 17th. I can't wait! While topside, I'm supporting the crew in any way necessary, including prepping experiments, and helping with surface dives and outreach. |
PREPPING RIGS FOR OCEAN RESEARCH
These are the prepped rigs and supplies I sent to Aquarius. The cooler contains the contamination sensors wrapped in foil. The foil and cold temperature keep the sensors free from other contaminants (that would mess up the study). The styrofoam spheres toward the back of the photo are the floats that pull the rope upward with the sensors. | |
"The science we will be doing on this Mission will be cutting edge . . . But what excites me most is that Mission 31 may start to rekindle that lost connection to the sea, so that some day my daughters can look back and say, 'Wow, humans really came close to messing things up. But somehow we found our connection to nature just in time to turn things around.'" -- Brian Helmuth |

"The idea is to spark the interest of a population of people who haven't previously gotten excited about the ocean—and to change the way they think about the planet." -- Fabien Cousteau |
