[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the previously link Ocean Gate webpage:

"Titan is the only manned submersible to employ an integrated real-time health monitoring system. Utilizing co-located acoustic sensors and strain gauges throughout the pressure boundary, the RTM system makes it possible to analyze the effects of changing pressure on the vessel as the submersible dives deeper, and accurately assess the integrity of the structure. This onboard health analysis monitoring system provides early warning detection for the pilot with enough time to arrest the descent and safely return to surface."[/quote]

the question is - if they lost power and all communication ability -- does this monitoring system even work?[/quote]

Did it ever work?

No one knows since they declined government/industry oversight.[/quote]

I think it did, because they said on the last trip they lost communication for a short while, but were able to find them or otherwise recover quickly.[/quote]
