During a Titan mission in 2021, divers had to move their weight from side to side to dislodge weights attached to the submersible which would result in the vessel coming back to the surface when a dive was aborted. Several investigations into the implosion are under way afterpie...
The family of a French explorer who died in a submersible implosion has filed a more than $50 million lawsuit, saying the crew experienced “terror and mental anguish” before the disaster and accusing the sub’s operator of gross negligence. Paul-Henri Nargeolet was among five people who d...

Most people wanna see the bow. But everybody's seen the bow! (LAUGH) Not many people have seen the boilers in the back, and not many people have seen the debris field. And that actually is some of the more exciting stuff. So as part of the education process of the mission speci...
This photo provided by OceanGate Expeditions shows the submersible vessel named Titan used to visit the wreckage site of the Titanic. A vessel that had been searching for debris from the ill-fated Titan submersible has returned to port in St. John’s, N.L. The Canadian-flagged Horizon ...
The sliver of hope that remained for finding the crew alive was wiped away early Thursday, when the submersible's 96-hour supply of oxygen was expected to run out and the Coast Guard announced that a debris field had been found roughly 1,600 feet (488 meters ) from the Titanic. ...
Titan's thick, nitrogen-dominated atmosphere allows for aeolian processes to shape the surface by transporting photochemically derived organic debris analogously to how silica or gypsum grains are transported on Earth (e.g. Barnes et al., 2015). Titan's equatorial zones are dominated by massive ...
We describe a mission concept for a stand-alone Titan airplane mission: Aerial Vehicle for In-situ and Airborne Titan Reconnaissance (AVIATR). With independent delivery and direct-to-Earth communications, AVIATR could contribute to Titan science either alone or as part of a sustained Titan Explora...
