The global ocean encompasses 75% of our blue planet, yet less than 10% of the waters below its surface have been explored. Learn more… Science on a Sphere (SOS) module: “Exploring the Unknown Ocean”
The project created opportunities for teachers and students to experience new technologies related to exploring the global ocean and discover pathways to marine careers. The Marine Technology for Teachers and Students (MaTTS) Project, is based at the University of Rhode Island’s Inner Space Center and the University of Connecticut’s Avery Point campus.

The Northwest Passage Project (NPP) is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project that centers on a research expedition into the Arctic’s Northwest Passage, which will engage undergraduate and graduate students in hands-on research as they explore the changing Canadian Arctic Archipelago and collect data. The SUBSEA team will have members on the E/V Nautilus as well as in the ISC Mission Control, where they will coordinate operations through remote communications. SUBSEA brings together the worlds of Space and Ocean exploration science and is a partnership between NASA, NOAA, the Ocean Exploration Trust and various academic centers across the U.S. NASA Systematic Underwater Biogeochemical Science and Exploration Analog (SUBSEA) Each project page features a description and links to the project’s website. The Inner Space Center Team engages worldwide with a number of science, technology, and education partner organizations to provide scientific and educational support.
