Published purpose
This project MERCURIUS LANDER led by Nautilus Marine (Germany) aims to develop a new deep-sea lander concept with a system of “messenger” pods that will receive relevant data from the acquisition system on the seabed either on pre-set schedules or in the event of a triggered alert. The messenger pods will subsequently travel up to the surface as fast as possible and will then immediately transfer the collected data via satellite communication to shore, while broadcasting its position regularly for pickup.
