About ‘Samudrayaan’-
India’s ambition to send men to the deep sea in a submersible vehicle is likely to be a reality in 2021-22 with the ‘Samudrayaan’ project.
The project proposes to send a submersible vehicle with three persons to a depth of about 6000 metres to carry out deep underwater studies, National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) Director MA Atmanand said.
The indigenously developed vehicle is capable of crawling on the sea bed at a depth of six kilometre for 72 hours.
