11 Scarlet Knight’s Mission Summary 221 days at sea, covering a world record 7,400 km. Preparing for recovery off Galicia, Spain Rutgers students in the COOLroom Scarlet Knight passes the Azores

12 Scarlet Knight’s Recovery off of Baiona, Spain

13 Scarlet Knight’s Landfall in Baiona, Spain Same port that Columbus’ Pinta made landfall in 1493

14 Scarlet Knight - The first underwater robot to cross an ocean: A hero’s Welcome, December 9, 2009

18 Web Portal Interactive Data Interface Google Earth, Glider GUI Briefing Blog Social networking tools developed to enable collaboration between scientists and students in the U.S., Canada, Spain and Portugal on the RU15, RU17, and RU27 long-duration glider missions. Trans-Atlantic Education

19 Web Portal Briefing Blog Interactive Data Interface Google Earth, Glider GUI Rutgers Response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Same social networking tools used to coordinate the U.S. National response to the Gulf Oil Spill.

20 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Response: West Florida Shelf Approaches 10 Gliders Coordinated. 127 Briefs Posted. Several used to brief the White House. Impacts: (1) We did not get in the way. (2) We reduced the burden. (3) We informed the Unified Command.

21 Global Glider Challenge – The Challenger Mission December 9, 2009 – Baiona, Spain HMS Challenger Voyage First Scientific Circumnavigation 1872-1876 111,000 km = (15 gliders x 7,400 km/glider) Rick Spinrad to Bob Goodman: Build and Coordinate a Global Glider Fleet to complete the first robotic revisit of the HMS Challenger’s Circumnavigation, and inspire students along the way. Bob Goodman to Rick Spinrad: We accept your challenge.

22 Challenger Mission – Next Steps – Test Flights U.S. National Science Foundation’s Ocean Observing Initiative: Education Program for Sustained at-Sea Tele-Presence Spain’s Plataforma Oceanica de Canarias: Education Program for Sustained at-Sea Human- Presence Rutgers Plan for the Challenger Mission: International Education Program for Sustained at-Sea Robotic Global Omni-Presence 2011
