This submarine will take you to the deepest part of the ocean!
Twelve people have walked on the Moon, but only three people dare to venture into the Challenger Deep abyss of the Mariana Trench, the deepest point on the ocean floor.
Only 3 people ever went to Challenger Deep - the deepest point of the ocean. But a new submarine of the Triton Submarines will help you and many others reach a depth of nearly 11 km below this sea surface.
Twelve people have walked on the Moon, but only three people dare to venture into the abyss of the deepest point on the ocean floor. However, Florida-based submarine producer Triton Submarines is looking for ways to help more people reach this depth with its $ 48.2 million submarine system.
The Triton Submarine 36,000 / 2 Hadal Exploration System will move to the deepest parts of every ocean in the world. According to Triton, this is the only certified commercial submarine that can carry out continuous journeys to a depth of 11km on the ocean floor.
Previous trips to Challenger Deep were trips made only once in a lifetime: two adventurers arrived at this point in a mission in 1960, and filmmaker James Cameron made the journey down there once in 2012.
36,000 / 2 can accommodate 2 people and the 68m DDSV Pressure Drop support ship will contain 47 passengers and crew. The support ship weighs 2,000 tons and has a laboratory with freezer to preserve the specimen.
After sea trials at a depth of 5km in Bahamas last summer, the submarine was handed over to the new owner, Caladan Oceanic.
Triton 36,000 / 2, weighing 11.2 tons, can slide vertically down to a depth of 10km in less than 2.5 hours. This submarine is much lighter than previous versions with 10 electric motors that allow it to move in any direction.
Its titanium hull, 8.9 cm thick, was built using advanced metallurgical techniques and Triton tested ships in Russia under the same conditions at a depth of 13km, or 20% larger than The deepest point of the ocean.
Victor Vescovo of Caladan Oceanic, founder of the expedition team and submarine steering team leader, said at a news conference that the submarine was made of titanium instead of glass because he believed the glass material was capable of causing unforeseen hazards.
The Triton's submarine will reach the deepest point of each ocean and a 68m support ship will accompany it throughout the journey.
Inside the submarine can control this temperature and humidity, train drivers can rest on leather seats, use four cameras and observe the ocean through three views.
At the press conference, chief design engineer John Ramsey said his team has focused on safety features because if an emergency occurs, the opportunity to quickly rescue a person in close proximity 11km undersea is zero.
"We have done everything for submarines to get rid of things that are stuck in obstacles, so all the thrusters and steering wheel can be launched and left under the sea. Power can also be leave , " Ramsey said.
If all 12 power sources are damaged, the submarine's main ballast weight will be pushed out to bring the ship back to the water. Triton has designed submarines to easily survive 12 hours underwater.
The new Triton submarine also includes some life support features. Two people in the ship will have enough oxygen for four days and the ship also has CO2 absorbers. Fire is still a potential risk, although designers have created an analog life-support system, ie they cannot be turned off even when a power failure occurs.
Patrick Lahey, president of Triton, said during the press conference that making a new submarine dive would be a "peaceful" experience .
"Once you sink into the water, it will be great. Quiet and comfortable," Lahey said. "There is no feeling of floating, and there is really nothing better than looking through the light-filled glass frames during the dive."
