The FNRS-1 was a balloon, built by Auguste Piccard, that set a world altitude record.
 It was named after the Belgian Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique, which funded the balloon.
Piccard Cove ( ) is a cove bordered by O'Neal Point to the northwest and Sophie Cliff to the northeast, and forming the southernmost part of Wilhelmina Bay, along the west coast of Graham Land.
 Charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897-99.
 Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) in 1960 for Auguste Piccard, Swiss physicist, stratosphere pioneer who reached a height of 9.5 nautical miles (18 km) in a hydrogen-filled balloon in 1931.
Jiaolong ( flood dragon) is a Chinese manned deep-sea research submersible that can dive to a depth of over 7,000 m.
 It has the greatest depth range of any manned research vehicle in the world, the only manned expeditions to have gone deeper were the dives of the Trieste bathyscaphe (10,916m) in 1960 and the dive of the Deepsea Challenger (10,898m) in 2012, both diving to Challenger Deep.
 The general designer is Xu Qinan (徐芑南), a former professor of School of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Civil Engineering(船舶与海洋工程学院) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), who also designed many other Chinese submersibles and unmanned underwater vehicles.
 Xu is now an academician for the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
 The first deputy general designer is Cui Weicheng (崔维成), and the deputy general designer was Zhu Weiqing (朱维庆).
Trieste is a Swiss-designed, Italian-built deep-diving research bathyscaphe, which with its crew of two reached a record maximum depth of about 10911 m , in the deepest known part of the Earth's oceans, the Challenger Deep, in the Mariana Trench near Guam in the Pacific.
 On 23 January 1960, Jacques Piccard (son of the boat's designer Auguste Piccard) and US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh achieved the goal of Project Nekton.
The FNRS-2 was the first bathyscaphe.
 It was created by Auguste Piccard.
 Work started in 1937 but was interrupted by World War II.
 The deep-diving submarine was finished in 1948.
 The bathyscaphe was named after the Belgian Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique (FNRS), the funding organization for the venture.
 FNRS also funded the FNRS-1 which was a balloon that set a world altitude record, also built by Piccard.
 The FNRS-2 set world diving records, besting those of the bathyspheres, as no unwieldy cable was required for diving.
 It was in turn bested by a more refined version of itself, the bathyscaphe "Trieste".
The F.-A.
 Forel was a manned underwater submersible built in 1978 by Jacques Piccard.
 Built at the Giovanola fabrication plant in Monthey and launched in Ouchy (Lausanne), it was one of the four submarines that have explored the depths of Lake Geneva, along with the "Auguste Piccard" and the two Mirs.
Don Walsh (born November 2, 1931) is an American oceanographer, explorer and marine policy specialist.
 He and Jacques Piccard were aboard the bathyscaphe "Trieste" when it made a record maximum descent into the Mariana Trench on January 23, 1960, the deepest point of the world's oceans.
 The depth was measured at 35813 ft , but later and more accurate measurements have measured it at 35,798 feet (10,911 m).
Auguste Antoine Piccard (28 January 1884 – 24 March 1962) was a Swiss physicist, inventor and explorer, known for his record-breaking hot air balloon flights, with which he studied Earth's upper atmosphere and cosmic rays, and for his invention of the first bathyscaphe, "FNRS-2", with which he made a number of unmanned dives in 1948 to explore the ocean's depths.
The Auguste Piccard mesoscaphe, also known simply as the Mésoscaphe, was a manned underwater submarine designed in 1964 by Jacques Piccard, son of Auguste Piccard.
 It was the world's first passenger submarine, built for Expo64, the 1964 Swiss national exhibition in Lausanne.
 It was built at the Giovanola fabrication plant in Monthey and the first immersion took place in Le Bouveret on 27 February 1964.
 It has a total of 45 Plexiglas portholes, with 20 on each side for the 40 passengers.
Jules Piccard, also known as Julius Piccard (20 September 1840, in Lausanne – 11 April 1933, in Lausanne) was a Swiss chemist.
 He was the father of twins Auguste Piccard (1884–1962) and Jean Felix Piccard (1884–1963), both renowned balloonists.
