South Korea: launch submarine to explore the ocean

The Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute has announced a plan to launch unmanned submarines with a remote control device called "Hemire" to explore the ocean at a depth of 6 km on 3/5 next.

After 7 years of research and expectation, scientists led by senior scientist Lee Pan-mook of the Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute will launch unmanned submarines with remote control explorers. ocean at a depth of 6km on 3/5 next.

Unmanned ocean exploration submarines have Korea's Hemire remote control.

The oceanic submarine named Hemire will be launched into the ocean at the Kojedo branch of the Research Institute north of Kyongsang Province, South Korea. A year later, the Hemire vessel will be moved to the Pacific Ocean.

Hemire exploration submarine is 3.3 meters long, 1.8 meters wide, 2.2 meters high, weighs 3.2 tons and has a diving speed of 10.8 km / hour.

Hemire expedition submarine equipped by two robotic arms that record all cross-sectional images of the ocean floor. Therefore, the vessel can study minerals or repair broken fiber cables below. country.

A remote control device by a technical expert will be responsible for controlling the signals. The signal of the submarine collected will be transferred to the Research Operations Center of the Research Institute.

In addition, Hemire expedition submarine also has the task of mapping the ocean with the integration of sensors and cameras.

Before the Hemire expedition submarine was officially launched into the ocean, the Hemire vessel was piloted by the chief of Lee Pan-mook scientists to the South China Sea under his control.

During the experiment, some animals and plants were also discovered and more specifically this Hemire expedition submarine was very useful for locating sunken ships.

With investment of 12 billion won to research and develop the Hemire submarine, Korea will be the fourth largest country in the world after the US, France and Japan master the technology of submersible ship production at a distance of 6 km.

In addition, a team of scientists led by senior scientist Lee Pan-mook has also developed a self-recharging battery source for underwater vehicles.
