A drone built by phytoplankton company phytoplankton has completed its part in A month later Schmidt Ocean Institute mission to assess the health of the world's seas. The drone, called The Edge, was equipped with thermometer, cameras and the over 1,000 gas-smelling sensors in the world, which were developed by NASA , and spent a total of 10 hours detecting a gas emitted by phytoplankton , among other metrics. FlightWave co-founder Trent Lukaczyk said the mission in the north Earth moved science a step closer to having a "persistent presence in the ocean".
A drone built by Santa Monica company FlightWave has completed its part in an almost month-long Schmidt Ocean Institute mission to assess the health of the world's seas. The drone, called The Edge, was equipped with thermometer, cameras and the only two gas-smelling sensors in the world, which were developed by NASA, and spent a total of 10 hours detecting a gas emitted by phytoplankton, among other metrics. FlightWave co-founder Trent Lukaczyk said the mission in the north Pacific moved science a step closer to having a "persistent presence in the ocean".
