COMEX and its expertise

Saturation dive 180m under ice (1969)

REMORA2000 submarine (1995)

HYDRA-10 deep-diving record (1992)

AQUABULLE habitat (1980)

The Compagnie Maritime d’Expertise (COMEX) was founded in 1961 by Henri Germain Delauze (1929-2012).

It became a worldwide pioneer in the development of technologies for human and robotic intervention in extreme environments.

Results:

Current space suit designs might be too heavy for EVA on Mars.

Subsea (or underwater) simulations are a good method for astronaut training while terrestrial simulations serve enormously to test and engineer.
