Weather held and both dives completed!Donnie’s underwater camera – RIP, the housing broke and the camera was flooded…
AM Dive
Deepworker pilots: Bekah, Mike Gernhardt
CapCom: Greg Slater
Recovered samples to better understand variability of deep water microbialites
• Recovered sample from middle of deep mound wall. Ability to hover and grasp precisely improves sample results
• Less thinking about enginnering issues and more thinking about scientific observations frees scientists to do more observation
• Very low impact on lake environment
PM Dive
Deepworker pilots: Bernard, Darlene
CapCom: Allyson
Completed mapping of N South Basin
• Fast learning curve for flying deepworker. Ability to target and grasp samples increases
• Combining horizontal and vertical thrusters increases potential. Now easily able to swing the vehicle around in the attitude you want
