Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
The science party size has not been finally determined but will include the Sentry AUV Team plus two operator provided technicians to handle multi-beam sonar, gravimeter, and magnetometer, plus close to the maximum number of scientists and watch standers that can be accommodated. |
