R.M.S Titanic 2003 Expedition on the Russian Research							Vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh between 20030622 and							20030702

As the leading ocean agency, and as per the Guidelines for
					Research, Exploration and Salvage of RMS Titanic, issued under the authority of
					the RMS Titanic Maritime Act of 1986, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
					Agency (NOAA) has a vested interest in the appropriate treatment and
					preservation of the Titanic wreck site. NOAA supports continual scientific
					research of the wreck for the sake of advancing knowledge of in situ
					preservation and degradation rate. Throughout its endeavors with Titanic, NOAA
					intends to promote full participation with other federal agencies, and academic
					and research institutions with respect to exploration and research of the wreck
					site. An eleven-day cruise to the Titanic wreck site will be conducted aboard
					the Russian science vessel R/V Akademik Mstislav Keldysh in conjunction with
					Deep Ocean Expeditions (DOE). A majority of the cruise time will be allocated to
					Jim Cameronâs staff for filming purposes. However, NOAA Office of Ocean
					Exploration (OE) has acquired two days of operation time with use of the
					vesselâs MIR submersibles.

Okeanos Explorer (EX1603): Hohonu Moana: Exploring the							Deep Waters off Hawai`I

The ship will conduct 24 hour operations consisting of daytime
					ROV dives and evening/nighttime mapping operations including during transit.
					During this cruise we will conduct primarily 8 hour ROV dives with occasional 10
					or 12 hour dives on particularly interesting or deep water dive sites, as
					staffing allows. ROV operations will focus in depths between 250 and 6,000
					meters and will include high-resolution visual surveys and limited sample
					collection. Mapping operations will be conducted in 250m of water and deeper,
					and include transit and overnight multibeam, water column backscatter, and
					sub-bottom data collection. Opportunistic CTD rosette operations may be
					requested to collect more information about the environmental parameters at ROV
					dives sites, or opportunistically at selected sites where collecting the data is
					considered important to understanding the physical or chemical properties of the
					overlying water column. ROV and mapping operations will not be conducted in
					state waters. Dive(s) will also be devoted to searching for shipâs lost during
					the World War II Battle of Midway with an emphasis on finding the main wreck of
					the Japanese Aircraft Carriers Kaga. Data collected by OER that is considered
					sensitive will be protected from direct public release until such time as a
					final determination can be made as to permanent protection. If data are found to
					be sensitive because they reveal the location of a historically significant
					cultural resource, Section 304 of the National Historic Preservation Act
					provides that the head of a Federal agency or other public official shall
					withhold from public disclosure information about the location, character, or
					ownership of a historic property when disclosure may cause a significant
					invasion of privacy; risk harm to the historic property; or impede the use of a
					traditional religious site by practitioners. Data collected by the EX that is
					considered sensitive will be archived in a location where it can be withheld
					from public disclosure.

EX2201: Mapping & ROV Shakedown

From February 23 - March 3, 2022 (Pascagoula, MS to Key West, FL), NOAA Ocean Exploration conducted a shakedown of the remotely operated vehicle (ROV), video, telepresence, and sampling operations as well as mapping and positioning systems aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. The ROV engineers tested and calibrated ROVs Deep Discoverer and Seirios' ROV motor controllers, auto position software, lighting system, hydraulic system, ME-20 low-light camera, high-definition ancillary ROV cameras, sector-scanning sonar, as well as tested remote-piloting capabilities of ROV Deep Discoverer. Shakedown and readiness operations for the EM 304 multibeam sonar included a GNSS Azimuth Measurement Subsystem (GAMS) calibration, Patch Test, speed-noise test, coverage extinction data collection, and integration and testing of the newly installed SeaPath 380-R3. In total, the expedition team conducted 7 ROV dives ranging from 480 to 3,420 m depth and collected 4,930 square kilometers of acoustic data during transits and calibrations. The expedition explored the West Florida Shelf and the Straits of Florida offshore the U.S. southeastern coast. The expedition confirmed the location of a shipwreck target, thought to be a 19th century whaler. Corals and sponges were observed 4 out of the 7 surveyed dive sites, with 3 of the 7 containing high diversities of benthic species. A total of 12 samples were collected: 3 geological, 3 biological, and 6 commensal (not including blank samples).

Okeanos Explorer (EX1606): CAPSTONE Wake Island Unit							PRIMNM (ROV & Mapping)

Operations will use the shipâs deep water mapping systems
					(Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK60 split-beam fisheries sonars, ADCPs, and
					Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar), NOAAâs two-body 6000 m remotely
					operated vehicle (ROVs Deep Discoverer and Seirios), CTD rosette, and the shipâs
					high-bandwidth satellite connection for real-time ship to shore communications.
					Daytime ROV dives are planned most days from July 28 âAugust 16th and a few
					dedicated mapping transit days are also expected. ROV dives will include
					high-resolution visual surveys and limited rock and biologic specimen sampling.
					Mapping operations will be conducted overnight and when the ROV is on deck. CTD
					casts may be requested during the cruise to collect more environmental
					information at sites of interest.

EX2206: Voyage to the Ridge 3 (ROV and Mapping)

From August 6 - September 2, 2022 (Horta, Faial, Azores to San Juan, Puerto Rico) NOAA Ocean Exploration completed the Voyage to the Ridge 3 expedition (EX-22-06), a combined mapping and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) expedition to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Azores Plateau, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and U.S. waters in the vicinity of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Operations during this 28-day expedition included the completion of 9 successful ROV exploration dives in the vicinity of the Azores, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge south of the Azores, and Puerto Rico. ROV dives were conducted in water depths ranging from 250 m to 6000 m for a total of 41 hours of bottom time. EX-22-06 also collected 56,769 square kilometers of seafloor bathymetry and associated water column data using an EM304 multibeam sonar. All data associated with this expedition have been archived and are publicly available through the NOAA Archives.

ACUMEN 2012: Atlantic Canyons Undersea Mapping							Expeditions

Between February and August 2012, a team of NOAA and external partners will conduct a mapping âblitzâ focused on deepwater canyons off the northeastern seaboard. In preparation for this series of Atlantic Canyons Undersea Mapping Expeditions (ACUMEN), a team of NOAA and non-NOAA partners identified priority frontier areas along the continental shelf and slope. In total, five expeditions will gather baseline information to support science and management needs. The expeditions will highlight the complementary capabilities of three NOAA ships: Okeanos Explorer, Ferdinand R. Hassler, Henry B. Bigelow and the Nancy Foster for a NOAA-BOEM project. NOAA Partners include: the Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER), Office of Coast Survey (OCS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northeast Fisheries Science Center and Office of Habitat Conservation, and the NESDIS/NODC National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC). External partners include: Virginia Sea Grant; Mid-Atlantic Regional Council on the Ocean: New York Department of State and Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program; Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; and Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region. Key partners in the NOAA-BOEM project include USGS, Continental Shelf Associates, University of North Carolina-Wilmington, and the Marine Conservation Institute.
