Working stations
Image of one of the working stations in the mission control room on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. There are three working stations, each with two monitors. On the left screen, you can see some of the colorful mapped data along the ship’s mapping route. The ship moves like a lawnmower to map the large area and you can see that pattern with the white lines with arrows. On the right screen, you can see what the data looks like for the watch standers who are responsible for monitoring the technology and cleaning the data. The machine right under the two screens is the radio which is used to communicate with the bridge, the area of the ship where steering and navigation take place.
