SeaOrbiter, the first International Oceanic Station

Abstract

SeaOrbiter’s vision is to become the first International Space Station of the ocean, a symbol of humanity's capacity to explore and understand the most uncharted and critical part of our planet. SeaOrbiter will bring together scientists, explorers, and innovators from around the world to conduct ground-breaking research, notably in the context of global change, explore the unknown, and develop new technologies to better understand our ocean, its fine relationship with the atmosphere and its complex ecosystems. With its unique design and innovative operational mode–a quiescent slow drifting pace–SeaOrbiter aims to become an iconic symbol of human’s commitment to protecting our planet's most valuable resource: the ocean.
