摘要
深海载人潜水器不仅对科学界认知和研究海洋做出过杰出的贡献,而且在军事界也产生过轰动一时的影响。由于深海载人潜水器能够把科学家带入海底,最直接地对深海各种现象开展观察和研究,它们在深海环境研究、深海生物科学研究、以及新兴的深渊科学研究中发挥着越来越重要的作用。本文简要回顾了深海载人潜水器的发展历程,对国际上近年来仍然比较活跃的10余艘深海载人潜水器的技术性能和应用情况进行了分析对比,展望了深海载人潜水器的发展趋势。
Deep-sea manned submersible not only had made outstanding contributions to the deep-seaknowledge accumulation in marine science society, but also had very sensational influence in military affairs.Since the manned submersible is capable to bring scientists to the bottom of the sea, therefore various observationsand studies can be carried out in-situ, which circumstance can hardly be simulated in a laboratory. The mannedsubmersible have been playing an increasingly important role in deep sea environment research, deep sea biologicalresearch, deep sea resource study, as well as in the emerging field of hadal ecological study. This article brieflyreviews the development of the world famous deep-sea manned submersibles. Then analysis and comparisons oftheir technical specifications, diving practice of the most active 10 submersibles in the world are described. Finally,development trend of deep-sea manned submersibles is prospected.
