1970 Analysis Chemists Diving Feet Habitat Involved Operations Samples Taking Under Water Virgin
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, an all-female team of aquanauts, known as the Tektite II underwater habitat team, are seen taking water samples for analysis at a depth of 50 feet off the coast of St. John's, U.S. Virgin Islands, in 1970. The underwater habitat, named Tektite II, served as their home for two months as they conducted various experiments and studies underwater. The team members, dressed in their diving gear, are seen carefully transporting water samples from the ocean floor to the surface for laboratory analysis. The samples were collected using diving equipment and were carefully transported to the habitat's onboard laboratory for analysis. The team's work focused on studying the marine environment and its chemical properties, contributing valuable data to the scientific community. The Tektite II underwater habitat was a significant achievement in underwater living and research. It provided a unique opportunity for scientists to conduct long-term studies in an underwater environment, free from the distractions and interruptions of the surface world. The all-female team's involvement in this groundbreaking project was a testament to their dedication and expertise in the field of marine science. This photograph offers a glimpse into the pioneering work of the Tektite II team and the important contributions they made to our understanding of the ocean's chemical makeup. The image captures the team's focus and determination as they work together to collect valuable data from the depths of the ocean. The Tektite II project paved the way for future underwater research and living initiatives, inspiring generations of marine scientists and explorers.
