    • Okeanos Explorer (EX1607): CAPSTONE Wake Island PRI MNM (Mapping)

    Metadata Updated: March 28, 2026

    Operations will include 24 hour/day mapping operations using the ship’s deep water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK60 split-beam fisheries sonars, ADCPs, and Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar), CTD rosette, and the ship’s high-bandwidth satellite connection for real-time ship to shore communications. Operations for this cruise will include 24 hour mapping, and continuous telepresence-based remote participation in mapping operations. Multibeam and singlebeam mapping operations will be conducted 24 hours a day throughout the cruise. Sub-bottom profile mapping will be conducted 24 hours a day at the discretion of the CO. XBT sound velocity casts in support of multibeam sonar mapping operations will be conducted at an interval defined by prevailing oceanographic conditions, but not to exceed 6 hours.
