Scientists have launched a project that aims to allow humans to see the deepest parts of each of the five oceans for the first time in history. According to Reuters, the journey to the deepest sections of the oceans will be conducted using a high-pressure resistant two-person submarine. With this submarine, which can withstand pressures over 9 kilometers below sea level, scientists will reach these depths for the first time. The project, named the 'Five Deeps Expedition,' utilizes a floating vehicle that took over three years to construct and can dive more than 9 kilometers underwater. Victor Vescovo, who will pilot the vessel after it separates from its carrier boat, stated that the body is made from titanium and other special materials that can navigate the ocean depths. He expressed hope that this journey will not only break technological boundaries and limitations but also enable humans to understand a little more about their surrounding world. Vescovo has previously traveled to both the North and South Poles and climbed the seven highest peaks in the world. Triton Submarines, the manufacturer of this vessel, has stated on its website that this is the only submarine capable of sending individuals to depths of 11,000 meters. According to Reuters, the Discovery and Science channel is set to film the entire mission and broadcast it in a program titled 'Deep Planet' starting in 2019.
