Labrador Sea 2016 Testing: Part 1

In preparation for our LabSea2016 mission, the mission glider was put through its paces in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland back in mid-August. We thank the crew of Belle of the Bay for their assistance.

Transporting the glider from Heart's Content out to the deployment location in the deep, middle part of the bay. The glider is special in having an extra battery bay, as well as carbon dioxide and oxygen sensors.

We couldn't have asked for better weather.

With the weather being good, we deployed the glider from a skiff.

In she goes.

Momentum carried the glider beneath the surface initially, but she soon came back up.
