First, there will be an above-water marine lab, with several aquariums and high-tech devices to test pollution levels in seawater. Second, with solar panels on its sides and the wind turbine near the top, the SeaOrbiter will run mostly on solar and wind energy. Its motors will be turned on only when necessary, such as when entering a port. Another great feature is the diving equipment room located seven meters above the ocean. Scientists wearing scuba gear will be able to take an outdoor elevator and go 12 meters below the water’s surface. Furthermore, there will be remotely operated vehicles that let scientists explore the deep ocean without leaving the vessel. Finally, up to 22 people can stayonboard the SeaOrbiter. The living area will be of top quality: bedrooms with TVs, computers, and large underwater windows acting as personal aquariums.
