A Chinese manned submersible successfully reached a depth of 4,027 meters during a dive test conducted today in the eastern Pacific Ocean, the State Oceanic Administration said.
The five-hour-long test started at 3 am this morning, with the submersible Jiaolong carrying three people to a depth of 4,027 meters in an international area of the ocean.
The administration work team in charge of the mission said that the dive was intended to test the submersible's functionality. The submersible was found to be working normally and may be able to reach even greater depths, the team said.
The administration said the submersible is scheduled to conduct another dive test on Friday, when it will attempt to reach a depth of 5,000 meters.
