We are very honored that our M2 ROV could work with the underwater training institute Survival Systems USA to provide support in their training for NASA( National Aeronautics and Space Administration). They have simulated a vacuum underwater to train astronauts and used our M2 ROV to record footage of young astronauts coming out of the cabin.
This kind of training could help astronaut researchers in becoming familiar with the feeling of weightlessness that they will experience in space. The video has captured just how intense astronaut research training can be.
Some photos are for your reference.

Recently, a Hong Kong dealer used Chasing M2 ROV in combination with DJI drones to inspect ships at the dock.
The underwater robot navigates around the hull by the operation of the remote, delivering high-definition video footage and images of the hull in real-time for the captain to evaluate.
Such hull inspections greatly simplify the process and make hull inspections more frequent and less expensive. Since no diver is required, there is no need to shut down the vessel's systems for inspection.
Using underwater robots, daily and continuous hull condition monitoring can be performed during daily docking, enabling shipowners and operators to implement appropriate maintenance plans to optimize vessel performance.

In recent years, more and more countries have paid attention to biological invasion in port. On the night of January 7th, in Port Stavanger from Norway, M2 & M2PRO were used in mapping the prevalence of "sea vomit"(Didemnum vexillum) on the seabed.
Sea vomit is an invasive species in Norway and was first discovered here in Stavanger one year ago. The sea vomit has no known predators in Norway and can make big damage to local marine life. This species can grow colonies up to 11 times bigger every 14 days and can cover big areas where all other marine life will die.
Nowadays CHASING M2 and M2 Pro underwater drones are used in a project to find ways to limit and reduce the spread of these colonies. This is not a problem only in Norway, this species has spread to New Zealand, the USA, Canada, and Europe, bringing a big problem for the marine life there.

Helsel, the Korean distributor of CHASING, received a call from Goyang Police station, hoping to find the missing persons at the southern end of the Gyeongpo Bridge with the help of CHASING M2/CHASING M2 Pro. The man went missing near the Kimpo Bridge. His jumper was found on the banks of the Han River two weeks after he went missing. Police are focusing their search on missing people based on where the clothing was found.
At first, CHASING M2 was put into use, but over time it became too strong to move forward due to the inflow of water from the West Sea.
Later, it was replaced with M2 PRO, a higher version of the product with higher motor power and 4 knots of anti-current. After changing into CHASING M2 PRO, the police overcame the current and continued the search. CHASING M2 PRO made 2-3 searches in the vicinity of the underwater beam from the expected missing position to 200m ahead and helped them to judge the places effectively.
Besides, CHASING has introduced USBL and BP image sonars, which are very helpful for underwater search and rescue. In the future, CHASING ROVs will continue to assist search and rescue teams and police departments in searching for missing and drowning people.

From April 2021 to the present, a shipowner in Singapore used M2 PRO to conduct underwater inspections for ships. Shipowners will regularly use ROV to collect videos and photos to determine the corrosion of the hull and the attachment of marine organisms to investigate potential safety hazards. Through the lens of the M2 PRO, the underwater hull, the side plates, welds, and valves are visible in real-time clearly. Even in dim waters and narrow spaces, the details of the hull can be easily observed. While the data detected by the M2 PRO provides an effective basis for the hull cleaning plan, it also greatly reduces the high labor costs of using divers for ship inspections and reduces safety hazards.

Our Australian partner Spot X has just made an introduction video for operating the latest function of the Hull inspection tool/report generator in the Chasing ROV app G01.
This function allows you to efficiently conduct a hull inspection and generate a report.
With this feature, you could choose the pictures which are to be shown in the report. Sometimes, you may have to cancel few pictures because of poor quality or wrong angle or some obstruction.
You could mark the specific hull location when you take close-up pictures of certain niche areas – such as under bilge keels, propeller boss, rudder pintle bearing area, inside of sea chests, etc.
This feature makes it easier for you to manoeuvre to ROV models more efficiently to get the report.
