Happy Berth-day, SuBastian! On 4/24/2016, ROV SuBastian hummed to life. Since then, the world has gotten to see the seafloor & many of its inhabitants through the “eyes” of our robotic guide. We're excited to celebrate SuBastian, scientists, pilots & crew members who are exploring our unknown Ocean.
ROV SuBastian is brought back on board. ROV SuBastian on deck ROV SuBastian collecting samples on the seafloor. The science party gather to celebrate the end of the cruise, ending with a special personal greeting to all of the live stream viewers around the world from the hangar as ROV SuBastian is brought back on board.
