Sea Orbiter

The international scientific station, Sea Orbiter will drift across the oceans, driven by the current, to observe and explore ocean life, and study the interactions between ocean and atmosphere as well as their impact on our climate. With a life expectancy of 15 years, Sea Orbiter will provide a new tool for multi-disciplinary scientific expeditions focusing on global climatic changes, fish resources, viruses and bacteria.
