Okeanos Explorer (EX1701): CAPSTONE Kingman/Palmyra, Jarvis (Mapping) Overview Map

Operations will include the use of the ship's deep water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM302 multibeam sonar, EK60 split-beam fisheries sonars, ADCPs, and Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom profiler sonar), and the ship's high-bandwidth satellite connection for real-time ship to shore communications. Focused mapping operations will occur in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument (PRIMNM)(U.S.) in the vicinity of Kingman Reef and Palmyra Atoll, and Jarvis Island, as well as in the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA) (Republic of Kiribati).
