Once recovered, the moorings are refurbished for the next recovery and deployment mission. This work is done at the Quissett campus of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, which is about two miles from the Woods Hole dock. Prior to Pioneer 17, three coastal surface moorings had to be uploaded on a flatbed truck and transported to the dock. This video gives an idea of what is entailed in the process.
