About

The images were taken by the ROV Victor 6000 underwater vehicle. In this video: wifi connection with the ROV. The equipment used is an operational radiofrequency connector, contactless and connectable/disconnectable underwater, allowing to transmit HD video or any other type of data up to more than 50Mbits/s between a bottom observatory and an ROV.

The MoMARSAT campaign is part of the Azores Region Marine Observatory project, one of the components of the European FIXO3 (Fixed point Open Ocean Observatory network) and EMSO (European Multidisciplinary Sea Observatory) programmes, which aim to create a network of deep-sea observatories. The objectives of these seabed observatories are to ensure, in real time, monitoring of the natural dynamics of the marine system from the deep crust to the ocean floor, including the fauna that lives there.

MoMARSAT 2018 provides annual maintenance of the EMSO-Azores observatory at the Lucky Strike hydrothermal vent. This seafloor observatory has been in operation since 2010 and aims to acquire time series, greater than or equal to 10 years, on hydrothermal, tectonic, volcanic processes and ecosystems of an active hydrothermal site of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

This campaign is part of the "MOMARSAT: MONITORING THE MID ATLANTIC RIDGE" campaign series and took place from August 8 to 28, 2018.
