For the first time, humans will be able to visit the deepest point at the bottom of each of the five oceans using a small submarine, as part of an "exciting" deep-sea mission known as the "Five-Dimensional Mission."
The new submarine, designed for two people, has been designed to withstand massive pressure at depths of more than 9 kilometers below sea level.
The "Five-Dimensional Mission" project will use a special submarine that has been made for more than three years.
"It is made of titanium and other materials with special capabilities and can sink deep into the ocean," said Victor Veskovo, the explorer who will lead the submarine after the support ship leaves for the deepest ocean.
Florida-based company Triton Sabarmarenz said on its Web site that it was the only certified submarine to carry humans to depths of up to 11,000 meters.
Discovery and Science will film the entire mission for a project known as Deep Planet, to be broadcast in 2019.
