ROV SuBastian_Demopoulos.jpg

Detailed Description

The remotely operated vehicle (ROV) SuBastian sits on the deck of the Research vessel (R/V) Falkor. The ROV is used to collected samples on the seafloor and transport them back to the surface for processing. (and FYI, yes, the SuBastian is how Schmidt spells the name because it is named after the character Bastian in the neverending story - like the Falkor ship itself. ROV FAQs - Schmidt Ocean Institute
