Program Management and Systems Engineering Support for the Marine Seismic System (MSS).
The primary goal of the Marine Seismic System (MSS) is to collect multi-frequency seismic data from a sensor implanted in a deep-ocean borehole. Preliminary testing was completed in the Atlantic during FY-81 to demonstrate system feasibility and test the basic concept. A more extensive test is sched...
