ROPOS ROV

Our spring 2024 mission with #KIOST is now complete!

Our team and @roposrov.bsky.social will be travelling back to North America for our next mission.

Last fall, we supported in the Indian Ocean, aboard the R/V Sonne.

On this mission, we used our Autonomous Temperature Acquisition Probe (ATAP), developed by Keith Tamburri, and efficiently performed a swap between science and ROCS mode!

Being a very small organization, we have limitations on our ability to summarize information for the public and would still have to consult with KIOST before sharing. So, it would be best to contact them!

KIOST would have all of the science information.

As an ROV operator, the information we have is more centred around our engineering and technology logistical operations, although we like to share when something fun happens (like a squid sighting!).

Hi Jeff, thank you for your interest and for keeping us on our toes! Our engagement person is working on our 2023 KIOST expedition summaries as we speak!

We do have one KIOST summary from 2021 on the 'Stories and Updates' section of our website: tinyurl.com/483bee8w, if you'd like to take a look.

You can find information on our mission, scheduled for this August, with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (the Northeast Pacific Deep-Sea Expedition) on DFO's field work database, Fieldnotes.

It features a beauty shot of @roposrov.bsky.social!

A beautiful day to be back on the R/V Isabu.

We're in Mauritius and are about to kick off our 2024 field season aboard the R/V Isabu!

Today we'll begin a 4.5-week mission (April 21 – May 22) to support the Korea Institute for Ocean Sciences and Technology in the Indian Ocean! 🤖 🚢

Thank you!

Hi Dani, if you deem our content appropriate, would we be able to be added to the Science feed? Our website is www.ropos.com

#addOcean Hi Daryll, do you think our content would be appropriate for the Marine Life feed? We can tag the feed when we are doing work with marine biologists or anything of interest to those in marine biology.

The 2024 field season is about to begin!

We have successfully completed out mission aboard the R/V Sonne in the Indian Ocean with BGR!

We will begin our holiday break soon after we return home. In the meantime, feel free to check out @roposrov.bsky.social's tentative schedule for 2024!
