Apollo 11 Deep Ocean F1 Engine Recovery Presentation for Oceanography Midshipmen of US Naval Academy

October 1, 2014 – US Naval Academy oceanography specialists will get an intensive first-hand look into the scientific and technological advances that allowed Jeff Bezos’s team to recover Apollo F1 rocket motors from over 14,000 fsw. Operations Manager Vince Capone, a 30-plus-year marine scientist who worked on the 2013 Apollo F-1 Engine recovery expedition, will give an in-depth animated presentation on November 6.

The presentation will go beyond recounting the expedition, delineating the technology and science behind the operation and exciting discoveries regarding the deepwater environment. The midshipmen will be exposed to technology and science pertinent to their future careers as naval officers in the US Navy, rapidly modernizing with advances in underwater technology.

High-definition images, video, and 3D animations will bring the underwater world to life for participants. The Academy’s midshipmen will walk away with an appreciation for the state of deep ocean technology and how the US Navy can leverage technology to achieve its goals.
