ITP 70 Recovery Operations
Two years after deployment, ITP 70 (which was no longer obtaining profiles due to expended battery) completely recovered along with ITM 3 during JOIS 2015. While the plan had been to leave the ITM in place and remove only the ITP, both systems had to be recovered as the mooring cables were tangled.
