News Orpheus Ocean Advances Deep Sea Research In The Mariana Islands Over the course of a 3 week expedition in may 2025, our team deployed the orpheus auv to record smashing depths, surveying previously unexplored parts of seafloor in the us territorial waters around guam and the mariana islands. Newly found polymetallic nodules were imaged on the seabed at 5,645 meters (3.51 miles) water depth to the east of the commonwealth of the northern mariana islands using the orpheus autonomous underwater vehicle during an expedition on exploration vessel nautilus.
News Orpheus Ocean Advances Deep Sea Research In The Mariana Islands Built by new england based startup orpheus ocean, this small footprint auv is advancing our understanding of some of the planet’s least explored regions at water depths up to 11,000 meters (6.8 miles). oeci has worked together with noaa, boem, and usgs to better understand the unique and remote areas of the deep sea. The ocean exploration trust's (oet) research vessel nautilus has departed on its first expedition of 2025 to study underwater volcanoes and deep sea environments near the mariana islands. As part of a larger expedition to expand our knowledge of the seafloor, the oeci partnered with orpheus ocean to field test their new auv east of the mariana trench.

As part of a larger expedition to expand our knowledge of the seafloor, the oeci partnered with orpheus ocean to field test their new auv east of the mariana trench. The orpheus auv will allow the team to explore the abyssal seafloor at depths up to 6,000 meters, which has to date been virtually unexplored around the mariana islands. Built by new england based startup orpheus ocean , the small footprint “orpheus auv” is advancing our understanding of some of the planet’s least explored regions at water depths up to 11,000 meters (6.8 miles).
