Okeanos Explorer (EX0802): Operation Halloween Shakedown

  1. Test the VSAT system and networks, from ship to satellite, to I2, to land-based consoles. 2. Test newly installed sensors independently, as well as integrated into the larger network of systems on board. 3. Continue with system familiarization in the ROV control room, to include development of SOPs for newly installed software programs. 4. Refine SOPs for operation of mission specific equipment and operations. 5. Test bow thruster operation with the newly installed insulation. 6. Test CTD and pinger. 7. Continue with training and familiarization of deck and bridge crew. 8. Continue to test the capabilities and limitations of the multibeam system 9. Burn enough fuel in the forward tanks for safe offloading of remaining fuel prior to the winter in port in preparation for hot-work and tank repairs.
