ORBIS RAY / CONCEPT

A new way to listen to the ocean.

A future autonomous observation platform. Designed around a simple ambition: stay at sea longer, collect useful evidence and make it accessible.

01

Energy & endurance

Research concept: solar power with possible wave-assisted operation.

02

A modular science payload

Candidate sensors: temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, chlorophyll, turbidity, acoustic sensing and imaging. Selection requires calibration and power-budget work.

03

Observe → analyse → explore

Collect data, evaluate quality, identify gaps and propose the next observation. Mission execution must respect navigation and environmental constraints.

04

Development status

Hardware partners and scientific collaborators are invited.
