In the project, the participants or the Citizen Scientists will be trained as Mission Specialists for a rare undersea research mission and expedition of the Titanic. A news agency quoted Stockton Rush, President of OceanGate Expeditions, "The Titanic Survey Expedition is the culmination of a vision to give more people a window into our deep oceans and access to the historic Titanic site."
“This team will document this historic site for generations to come," he added further.
The entire mission will be documented using laser scans, 4k videos and high-resolution images in order to make a photorealistic virtual 3-D model of the Titanic shipwreck. As per OceanGate, mission specialists will be expected to join in expertise and play a crucial role in transporting the citizen scientists and explorers to the underwater site.
The journey will take explorers 12467 ft below the surface of the ocean! There are six such missions planned, and the first schedule will be inaugurated by late-May through mid-July. According to the firm, each mission will last 10 days.
