Space station in the ocean

Originating from the model of the International Space Station ISS, scientists have recently launched the idea of ​​building a similar science center in the ocean, the building is likened to a "dance station." cylinder "in the ocean.

In the history of scientific development of mankind, the ISS international space station is not only considered a stopover for astronauts, ships when entering the universe but also an important research center of extraterrestrial people.

Sea Orbiter - oceanographic station in the sea

The model of the ocean "space station" looks like a giant ship sinking deep into the ocean. However, this is a large-scale artificial project to serve the scientific research of the ocean.

Called Sea Orbiter (51 oceanographic station) with a height of 51 meters and extremely modern architecture, Sea Orbiter is considered to be the largest and first artificial ship in the world exclusively and serving the study of marine life.

The idea and model for Sea Orbiter, Jacques Rougerie, said: "Sea Orbiter, or oceanographic station, can not only be deep in the ocean, it can even be controlled to Can move, change position. Mr. Rougerie believes that this will help oceanographers, biologists, and the scientific world . in general, to have the facilities and modern equipment for research. ocean effectively. At the same time help scientists have more new perspectives on the mysteries of the ocean that humans have never known.

When the Sea Orbiter project is completed, all oceanographers can have access to and discover a lot of things about the ocean with countless mysteries. For example, scientists can set foot in deep areas, even to the seabed in a short period of time without relying on diving aids or complex research and exploration. like the current.

An architectural work combining modern technological achievements

The oceanographic station was designed by the architect Jacques Rougerie - a French model of a vertical boat which is considered a wonder, but when completed will be equivalent to the stature of France's Eiffen tower.

However, not only is a monumental and aesthetic construction, Sea Orbiter is also fully equipped with extremely modern automatic control systems such as telephone system, windows system to monitor happenings in the ocean, the system of equipment to support diving, sampling or systems of laboratories .

It is estimated that in order to build the first items of the project, the cost must be about 35 million euros (equivalent to about 32 million US dollars). The cost figure is not small, but it not only serves ocean research, but it can also help scientists study many other important factors that are becoming of concern to the world today. , such as global warming and its relevance, its impact on the existence and transformation of the ocean in particular and the earth in general.

The work is significant for oceanography

When asked about the purpose of building the Sea Orbiter and the benefits that the project will bring, Dr. Rougerie said: "The ocean has a lot of unexplored mysteries, just 50 years ago, we It has just begun to discover that life in the ocean is very rich, just like on the earth, the ocean also has its changing "cycles" and has features that no one else could have before. Sea Orbiter will help people discover these mysterious features and open up new human knowledge about oceanography " .

The second reason leading to the creation of the idea of ​​oceanographic station work is also due to scientific forecasts about a future of mankind when most types of food and medicine are produced from product of the ocean. People need to be aware that the ocean has been and will continue to play an extremely important role for our planet as well as the life of the earth.

Sea Orbiter is designed to be able to move in the ocean (as in a gravityless state) to easily serve the study of different areas and diverse marine resources.

The entire control, control and positioning system for Sea Orbiter oceanographic stations has the same models and functions as the ISS international space station. The author of the oceanographic station - Mr. Rougerie said the work is currently being completed to 90% of the workload. This will not only be the pride of the French science community, but also one of the most modern and scale works in the world today. In his recent public speech, French President Sarkozy also mentioned the oceanographic station project as an important part of France's national stature.
