The Shallow Water Mooring has been loaded on the R/V Neil Armstrong and fully integrated. This means the buoy, riser, multi-function node, and profiling vehicle are complete, operating, and transmitting test data. The system will operate right up until departure to ensure all systems are ready for deployment.
