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 former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, and his wife, Wendy, established the Schmidt Ocean Institute in 2009 to support oceanographic research and technology development. 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".
