That night we encountered a problem on the side of TOBI. The cable connection of the drive (which gives us the length of steel cable connecting the ship and the TOBI) got stuck in the pulley supporting the cable steel TOBI. This has resulted in the loss of information on the length of spun steel cable, very important information because it helps define a positioning for the TOBI and thus to geocode images correctly recorded.
only possible solution, the rise of TOBI, or more precisely the weight of TOBI, to repair the cable. These have been carried out to 6:00 am with the ballast of TOBI TOBI on board and towed about 100m behind the vessel. After that the ballast was returned to the water and it was
TOBI down toward the bottom to acquire new images.
