India has launched the massive ocean expedition “Samudrayaan” in an effort to unravel the mysteries hidden within the deep sea. The nation plans to use the manned submersible “MATSYA 6000” to deploy a team of professionals into the deep sea to conduct various deep underwater studies.
The Samudrayaan Mission aims to create a self-propelled manned submersible that can carry three people and a variety of research instruments to a depth of 6,000 metres in the ocean. Its operational endurance is 12 hours, while its emergency endurance is 96 hours.
The Deep Ocean Mission, which places a focus on the development of deep-sea technology, includes the construction of manned submersibles with a maximum operating depth of 6,000 metres as well as technologies for deep-sea mining, resource exploitation, and marine biodiversity.
Scientific professionals will be able to directly examine and comprehend uncharted deep-sea regions thanks to the manned submersible.
In October 2021, the Samudrayaan mission was launched by the Indian government.
