Amid search for Titan, lessons for proposed Indian submersible dive

Subject : Science and technology

Section: MSc

Concept:

  • With hope dwindling on the chances of survival of those in the Titan submersible, scientists in India, preparing to undertake a similar dive in an indigenous vehicle late next year.

About Matsya:

  • Matsya 6000 is an Indian crewed deep-submergence vehicle intended to be utilised for deep-sea exploration of rare minerals under the Deep Ocean mission or Samudrayaan mission at a depth of 6000 metres.
  • Matsya, which literally translates to “fish” in Hindi, is a specialised vehicle that can carry a total of three passengers.
  • Matsya-6000 also has syntactic foam, a flotation device that would rise to the top.
  • It will help determine the physical location of the submersible, even if it were unable to resurface.

Purpose:

  • This vehicle is a platform to carry any devices, sensors, etc to the deep-sea for doing experiments/observations in the presence of a human being.
  • It will help in augmenting India’s capability with infrastructure facilities such as a high thickness welding facility and deep ocean simulator.
  • The manned submersible is aimed at exploring oceans and to survey the ocean bed and collecting data and samples.

Samudrayan mission

  • The goal of the Samudrayaan Mission is to develop a self-propelled manned submersible that is capable of carrying three people to a depth of 6,000 metres in the ocean.
  • This submersible will also be outfitted with a collection of scientific sensors and instruments for use in deep ocean research.
  • People from the scientific community will be able to directly observe and examine previously unmapped parts of the deep.
  • In addition to this, it will improve the capability of constructing man-rated vehicles for use in deep water environments.
  • The period is anticipated to be five years, beginning in 2020-2021 and ending in 2025-2026.
