On July 18, China's unmanned submersible, ARV Haidou, developed by the Shenyang Institute of Automation and the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering of CAS, dived for the first time to a depth of greater than 10,000 meters during a scientific expedition at the Mariana Trench in the West Pacific, reaching 10,767 meters, a new record for the country,
This expedition has filled the gap in China's deep-sea research for the in-situ data and samples covering a depth of greater than 10,000 meters, and makes China the third country, after the United States and Japan, capable of developing unmanned submersibles that can reach the greatest ocean depths.
