Overview

ROV Project would be to create and build an underwater ROV that can be tested at, and hopefully used by, the Space and Rocket Center during their weightlessness mission training for space camp astronauts. This has not been discussed with Dana (the dive master at the SRC). Even if they can't use it, she will likely let Omegix and other scuba certified volunteers test the ROV during a volunteer dive.
