SeaOrbiter; A new journey to explore the

oceans:-

An ocean-based research laboratory called the SeaOrbiter.The SeaOrbiter is part giant ship and part giant submarine.The station will have laboratories, workshops, living quarters and a pressurized deck to support divers and submarines.The SeaOrbiter will also allow scientists to remain at sea and underwater for long periods of time. The SeaOrbiter which is spaceship like shape and French architect Jacques Rougerie has designed, also included the world's leading ocean and space experts and supported by NASA and National Geograghic.The cost is expected approximately $52.7 million.The laboratory is semi-submersible vessel and weighs 1000 tons and has height about 58 meters with 31 meters below sea level.It will travel with the ocean's currents and It will harvest energy from wind, sun, and waves and is designed to float vertically with its two small propellers.In sea robots can be sent from the laboratory.

The SeaOrbiter is made of an alloy, five times thicker than a conventional vessel.
Jacques Rougerie said in the folks at Fast Company: “The SeaOrbiter is the synthesis of everything that we have been able to do at sea.It’s another way to explore and better comprehend the underwater universe and bring human life at sea to another level on a 24/7 basis and over long periods.”
