VENUS PROVIDES CONTINUOUS AND LONGTERM OBSERVATION OF THE SEAFLOOR BY USING THE NODE TO RECORD TEMPERATURE, SALINITY, SIGMAT, PRESSUE, SOUND VELOCITY AND OXYGEN. IT ALSO USES THE CAMERA PLATFORM TO RECORD VIDEO AND THE HYDROPHONE ARRAY TO RECORD AUDIO. IT IS THROUGH THESE MEANS THAT VENUS ACHIEVES ITS SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL GOAL OF PROVIDING ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC, RESEARCHERS AND SCIENTISTS TO PROVIDE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE SEAFLOOR.
