Jason (ROV)

Jason is a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) used for underwater exploration and research. Designed to withstand high pressure, it can dive to great depths, often over 6,500 meters (21,300 feet). Jason is equipped with cameras and robotic arms, enabling scientists to capture high-definition images, collect samples, and conduct experiments in places like the ocean floor or deep-sea ecosystems. It plays a crucial role in marine biology, geology, and archaeology, helping researchers understand underwater environments without the need for human divers, thereby enhancing our knowledge of the planet's oceans.
