ISHTE [In-Situ Heat Transfer Experiment] rigging: Final report
Description
This report describes some of the design and development work performed by the Applied Physics Laboratory in support of the In-Situ Heat Transfer Experiment (ISHTE). The work entailed the development of handling systems, back-up recovery systems, and back-up data recovery equipment for the ISHTE platform. ISHTE will implant a heat source in the clay sediments of the deep ocean and monitor the effects of the heat on the sediment for one year. At the end of the experiment, the equipment and samples of the heat-affected sediment will be recovered for study. This experiment is part of the near-field studies of the Sub-seabed Disposal Program which is funded by the Department of Energy
