Optional setup:
Depending on the scientific planning and involved groups, a variety of tools can be adapted and are maintained by partnering workgroups, including gas samplers, water samplers, T-probes, inductive links, in situ mass spectrometry, fluid samplers, bubble meter, microprobes, diverse autonomous devices and experiments, and more

Requirements for custom payload electrical or hydraulic interfacing, available spaces and payload capacity has to be defined in direct communication prior to or during expedition preparation phase.

Heavy instrument deployment (planned)
TFL capacity of up to 1500kg will allow installation of equipment underneath the ROV or toolskid in near future.
