Extensive planning and preparation went into the environmental monitoring efforts for Mission One. Subscribe to our channel: [ Ссылка ]
Every day for the 116 days that System 001 was offshore, a team of scientists and experts monitored the system and the surrounding environment to understand the possible impact of the technology and to minimize any potential harm to marine life. Initial results indicate minimal effects on marine life and the team will continue to study and evaluate this important work when we launch System 001/B.
As we are well into the testing with System 001/B in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Boyan sat with Technology Manager, Arjen Tjallema, at our headquarters in Rotterdam to discuss the complexities of iteratively designing and testing the cleanup technology in this particular offshore environment. Although this does entail its challenges, we aim to reach proven technology with this system, but, regardless of the outcome, the many learnings from this campaign will be applied to refining and improving our design and processes.
In four months, we designed, procured, assembled, and launched an entirely new system, dubbed System 001/B. This variation of System 001 entails modifications aimed at addressing the plastic retention issue we faced with Wilson. To learn quickly and achieve faster iterations cycles, speed is key with this design. This is how we got there and what our next steps will be.
