Streaming Live: Aquarius Main Lock
Take a look into the Aquarius laboratory’s main lock. If the laboratory appears empty it’s because the scientists are out diving. Or, if the laboratory is dark it’s probably late and the science team is asleep. We don’t always keep the lights on.
NOTE: QuickTime player is required for live streaming.
Aquarius is located at Conch Reef, 4 miles offshore in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The underwater laboratory rests in a sand plain adjacent to deep coral reefs and is currently home to a team of six people. The Aquarius 2000 program, representing the only underwater laboratory operating in our oceans, has taken underwater operations and science to a new level.
Transmission of images, video and data from Aquarius is made possible by a robust wireless network and TerraNovaNet. The Aquarius web cameras broadcast live only during missions. We premiered the image stream in July 2000, hosting the mainlock webcam live for the entire ten day mission, and later we added our aqua webcam that allowed views of Aquarius, aquanauts, and fish. The newest addition, live video streaming, is high quality MPEG-4 format video provided by VBrick Systems.
