The historic expedition to the Mariana Trench’s lowest point, the Challenger Deep, which lies 6.83 miles (10.99 kilometers) below the ocean surface, was the first extensive scientific exploration in a manned submersible of the deepest spot on Earth.

Incorporating new technologies, designs, and materials, the submersible DEEPSEA CHALLENGER is the product of years of dreaming, planning, building, and testing. From its one-of-a-kind vertical attitude to its innovative materials, including a highly sophisticated syntactic foam developed specifically to withstand the pressure at the bottom of ...

2023年8月29日 · While submersibles are traditionally designed along a horizontal axis, the 11.8-ton DEEPSEA CHALLENGER is one of a kind—it slips rapidly through the water vertically. About 70 percent of the sub’s volume is taken up by syntactic foam.

The dive was part of the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE expedition, a partnership with National Geographic that took Cameron, along with fellow pilot Ron Allum and a team of engineers, scientists, educators, and journalists, to the greatest depths of the ocean—places where sunlight doesn’t penetrate and pressure can be a thousand times what we ...

JAMES CAMERON’S DEEPSEA CHALLENGE 3D is a celebration of science, courage, and extraordinary human aspiration. CRITICAL ACCLAIM “Fans of the director and oceanography gearheads should swoon to the immersive, visually spectacular images of the ocean floor.”

2023年8月29日 · James Cameron’s DEEPSEA CHALLENGER submersible deploys technologies unimagined in the 1960s. The craft is much lighter, using a special kind of foam to give it both buoyancy and protection from the extreme environment nearly 7 …

An experienced sailor, his DEEPSEA CHALLENGE responsibilities ranged from running the scaled-model launch and retrieval and vehicle dynamic-stability testing, to managing the U.S. composite and lower-pod robotics fabrication for the DEEPSEA CHALLENGE.

Scientists across the country are still poring over images, caring for cultures, and examining deep-sea DNA as they try to learn more about how the biological and physical sciences look and operate in the ocean’s depths.
