Okeanos Explorer completed her passage through the Panama Canal early this morning and continued transiting towards the Mid-Cayman Rise operating area. The high speed connection to shore went down late last night, stopping all real time feeds to shore (RTS Intercom and Video). The cause is unknown, and does not appear to be related to the VSAT. Troubleshooting and repair efforts will continue tomorrow with shore-side personnel.
