Scientists have made a new pogruzhenme to the "Titanic"

This time they went to the new 4K-camera that will allow the ship to recreate in the virtual reality.

researchers committed first in 14 years piloted a dive to "Titanic", which lies at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 3810 meters with a water temperature of 1 ° C. Last time people went down to the ship in 2005 - it was James Cameron.

New dive was to allow scientists to assess the condition of the vehicle after 107 years of being under the water. For such a complex mission it was used bathyscaphe DSV Limiting Factor of Caladan Oceanic.

Reaching the bottom, a group of scientists examined the remains of the ship, first removing the extraordinary footage in 4K format with the use of specially adapted cameras. With their help, they plan to create a highly accurate and photo-realistic 3D-model of the "Titanic".

Scientists have noted that the constant currents, salt corrosion and corrosive bacteria rapidly destroy the metal vessel. Some members of the body have simply disappeared since the last dive.

The most serious fracture observed on the right side of the officer of the deck, where the captain's cabin was located. The resulting failure there gradually expanded, taking with them the other rooms. This process is irreversible and then it will only improve. Perhaps in 20 or a maximum of 50 years, the ship is already difficult to find, the scientists noted.

The researchers hope that the materials captured by them allow to visualize not only the current state of the ship, but also the collapse of the process. This will be used augmented and virtual reality.

At the end of the mission scientists laid a wreath and paid tribute to the more than 1 500 passengers and crew members died as a result of this tragic event in 1912.
