About station

Hydronaut H03 DeepLab

Thanks to its unique construction allowing the station to change its depth dynamically, its usability is exceptionally wide. It includes research and training programs, hyperbaric medicinal and psychological research, development and testing of technology, IRS, special army units or space agencies training.

Hydronaut DeepLab functions independently, but it can also be a part of comprehensive structures, such as our base camp in the Jesenný quarry, where the station was connected to the surface fleet, control centre and logistic base.

The Hydronaut project was accepted to the ESA BIC incubator program in 2020.

Mission Control Center

Our Mission control center offers base for execution of research and training programs – monitoring of the crew, base and individual modules, continuous data gathering, server for remote access to data and control of some technological elements, equipment for documentation and communication with remote workplaces.

By making a few simple changes in the setting, we can set the whole system for technology testing, simple research or complex programs of individual team missions – whether it is a rescue mission training or realistic simulation of space missions.

Surface Unit

The station and essential base for the crew leader also serves as external control of the H03 DeepLab station. The crew leader controls particularly positioning of the station, LifePod decompression module and life support systems. According to specific parameters of the mission, the crew can be completely isolated from the control centre and support teams for a certain time period.

Station Equipment

The module is equipped with cutting-edge available technology for environmental control, communication and data gathering. Some functions are only possible thanks to unique systems or even prototypes. These include both station control elements and technology that is being tested by our R&D partners.

The station is ready also for independent work outside the base. It can be used without the surface unit, even though only for a limited period of time. It is equipped with standardized interfaces for connection to systems of our potential partners – supply of air, energy, and data exchange.

For safety, economic and ecological reasons, the control system is set to 12 V. This rule applies also to systems provided by our partners. In case of extensive number of connected systems, our systems can be set to 24 V.

H03 DeepLab is unique both due to its structure, but also due to its functionality. Globally, it ranges among the best-equipped and most modern systems.

Station and Mission Control Software

The station is equipped with wide range of sensors controlled by Common Tongue – our own board system. Thanks to Common Togue, we can monitor our crew 24/7, communicate with them, plan their program and have access to data on everything that is happening under the surface.

The design of our board system allows for implementation of any other parameter needed for any specific research.

Missions

Research and training programs are executed as part of missions that are limited in time. Due to the high number of our partner subjects and demanding nature of organization the missions are planned well in advance. The program combines the requirements of our partners and optimizes common use of our backbone technology.
