According to what was reported by the Index company, the diving ship called Titan, which was heading to the wreck of the Titanic, which sank in 1912, with a pilot and four passengers on board, disappeared on Sunday. the Reuters According to his article, rescue teams are searching an area the size of Connecticut – roughly half the size of Belgium – for the submarine, which could be on the ocean floor or floating on the surface of the water.
In recent days, the rumbling sounds of the submarine have been heard, so the rescue teams concluded that the team in trouble is still alive, but according to experts, not for long, because the oxygen in the cabin may run out as early as Thursday. That is why the authorities continue to search with full force.
The Victor 6000 submarine has already arrived on the scene. Victor 6000 belongs to the French research institute Iframer, which was brought to the rescue site by the Atalante ship.
The remote-controlled robot, called Victor 6000, can dive to a depth of 20,000 feet—nearly twice as deep as the lost OceanGate Titan—and has arms that can cut cables or perform other, more precise maneuvers on a stuck ship. in order to edit it.
If the car finds the submarine, the four-and-a-half-ton robot will not only be able to help bring it to the surface — but it can help connect the stricken vehicle with a cable from the surface. Victor is also capable of visual reconnaissance with the help of lights and cameras, so the crew remotely controlling the submarine will be able to see directly what the robot sees.
The Victor 6000 is powered by an 8km cable connected to Atalanté, which means this device can also search non-stop. However, the robot is moving at just over 1 km/h.
With the structure, you can see through an area roughly the size of a small tennis court, and a three-person crew is required to operate it, he writes HVG.
The robot, built in 1999, is barely larger than 3m by 3m, but according to many, this is the last hope for saving those trapped on Titan, as he writes: metro.co.uk.
