The first manned submersible called 'Matsya 6000' will be used to study the ocean floor resources.
The submersible will go to a depth of 6000 meters in the ocean floor and the pressure inside will be 600 times higher than the sea level. Ramdas said that the temperature will be 2 degrees Celsius. He further said.. 'The rover on Mars can be controlled from the earth. But those 20 meters deep cannot be controlled. This is because electromagnetic waves cannot travel. The system is not available to communicate internally. NIOT scientist Satyanarayan said that many safety measures have been taken in Matsya 6000. He said that the safety of the crew going into the ocean bed has been given top priority. It has a pressure hull made of steel which has been tested at a depth of 500 meters. It has also been tested on humans at a depth of seven meters to determine how life support systems work. 🌐🔬
