Automonous underwater vehicle (Autosub)

Autosub, an automonous underwater vehicle owned by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), being launched in Antarctic waters. Autosub was developed and built by a team of engineers at Southampton Oceanography Centre and was first launched in 1996. It is capable of long unassisted forays under sea ice and ice shelves. It can make oceanographic and geophysical measurements and then return to its mothership unaided. In the Antarctic, it can obtain a detailed and widespread view of conditions and processes beneath the ice shelves

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Autosub, an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) owned by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), as it is being launched into the pristine Antarctic waters. Developed and constructed by a team of brilliant engineers at Southampton Oceanography Centre, this cutting-edge technology made its debut in 1996. Equipped with advanced capabilities, Autosub can embark on extensive solo missions beneath sea ice and ice shelves without any assistance. It possesses the ability to conduct oceanographic and geophysical measurements before autonomously returning to its mothership. In Antarctica specifically, this extraordinary AUV provides invaluable insights into conditions and processes hidden beneath the vast ice shelves. The image captures both the awe-inspiring beauty of the Antarctic landscape and the technological marvel that is Autosub. As it glides through crystal-clear waters, this British creation offers a comprehensive view of marine environments that were once inaccessible to researchers. With its horizontal design resembling a robotic submarine, Autosub represents a significant milestone in marine exploration. Its contributions have been instrumental in expanding our understanding of oceans worldwide. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and scientific progress while highlighting our commitment to unraveling nature's mysteries for the betterment of our planet.
