Argo is an unmanned deep-towed undersea video camera sled developed by Dr. Robert Ballard through Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute's Deep Submergence Laboratory. Argo is most famous for its role in the discovery of the wreck of the RMS Titanic in 1985. Argo would also play the key role in Ballard's discovery of the wreck of the battleship Bismarck in 1989.

  • Argo is an unmanned deep-towed undersea video camera sled developed by Dr. Robert Ballard through Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute's Deep Submergence Laboratory. Argo is most famous for its role in the discovery of the wreck of the RMS Titanic in 1985. Argo would also play the key role in Ballard's discovery of the wreck of the battleship Bismarck in 1989. The towed sled, capable of operating depths of 6,000 meters (20,000 feet), meant 98% of the ocean floor was within reach. The original Argo, used to find Titanic, was 15 feet long, 3.5 feet tall, and 3.5 feet wide and weighed about 4,000 pounds in air. It had an array of cameras looking forward and down, as well as strobes and incandescent lighting to illuminate the ocean floor. It could acquire wide-angle film and television pictures while flying 50 to 100 feet above the sea floor, towed from a surface vessel, and could also zoom in for detailed views. (en)
  • Argo is een onbemande op afstand bestuurbare onderwaterrobot, uitgerust met een onderwatervideocamera, ontwikkeld door Dr. Robert Ballard met de hulp van het Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute's Deep Submergence Laboratory. Argo is vooral bekend voor zijn rol in de ontdekking van het wrak van de RMS Titanic in 1985. De Argo werd ook gebruikt bij de ontdekking van het wrak van het Duitse slagschip Bismarck. De Argo kan werken tot op dieptes van 6000 meter (20.000 voet), wat betekent dat 98% van de oceaanbodem binnen bereik is van het toestel. De originele Argo, waarmee de Titanic gevonden werd, was 4,57 m lang, 1,07 m hoog, and 1,07 m breed en woog ongeveer 1800 kg. Hij had een reeks camera's om voorwaarts en naar beneden te kunnen kijken en apparatuur om de oceaanbodem te verlichten. Hij kon film en televisiebeelden maken op een hoogte van 15 tot 30 meter boven de zeebodem en inzoomen voor meer gedetailleerde beelden. (nl)
  • Argo é uma plataforma submarina rebocada de alta profundidade e não tripulada que dispões de câmeras de vídeo para a exploração. Foi desenvolvida pelo Dr. Robert Ballard no (Laboratório de Profunda Submersão). Argo tornou-se famoso pelo seus trabalho no descobrimento do RMS Titanic em 1985. O submarino Argo também foi utilizado na descoberta do navio de guerra Alemão Bismarck. A plataforma rebocada é capaz de operar a 6000 metros de profundidade, isso significa que em 98% do tempo alcança o fundo do oceano. O original Argo utilizado para encontrar o Titanic tinha 15 metros de comprimento, 3.5 metros de altura e 3.5 metros de largura, pesando cerca de 4000 quilos a nível do mar. Ele tinha um conjunto de câmeras que filmavam sua frente e abaixo de si, filmagem possibilitado por seu sistema de iluminação com e , que ajudavam na iluminação do fundo do mar. (pt)
