Core Systems announces today that they will provide Industrial Computers to the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) 12 undersea mission.

Core Systems in San Diego CA, May 21, 2007 announces today that they will provide complete integrated 4U rack mount systems in collaboration with the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) 12 undersea mission.

The NEEMO 12 mission takes place on board the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Aquarius Underwater Laboratory, located more than 900 miles from Nashville and 60 feet underwater off the coast of Key Largo, Florida. The University of North Carolina at Wilmington operates Aquarius on behalf of NOAA.

This “extreme environment” allows astronauts and other crewmembers to experience some of the same tasks and challenges as they would in space. NEEMO 12 is the first undersea mission to include a NASA flight surgeon who joins a surgeon from the University of Cincinnati and two NASA astronauts for the 12-day mission.

Core Systems integrated 4U rack mount systems help successfully demonstrated the first extreme environment telerobotic surgery, where a robotic surgical interface was controlled 1,500 miles away from a surgical robot that performed several tasks, including vascular suturing.
