*'''COMM (OPS)''' would work on implementing the Sonar to Speech and Speech to Sonar translator modules at the tank. We also will need portables and/or adjusting universal translators for it. | *'''COMM (OPS)''' would work on implementing the Sonar to Speech and Speech to Sonar translator modules at the tank.

== Challenges == | |||
* Underwater and space are quite different in their physical properties, even though both require similar safeguards–such as EV suits. The biggest challenge we will face is resistance caused by pressure. | |||
* Our standard EV suits | |||
** are designed to account for a variety of pressure variances. However, they are not designed for long excursions. They also rely on the assumption of operating in a gas or vacuum for purposes of heat dissipation. | |||
** The propulsion systems built in are likely insufficient to move through water. There may be additional factors to consider. We want a suit that does not kill its occupant in the event of a power failure, as we will be at pressures hostile to most, if not all, people present in this briefing. | |||
*Our shuttles | |||
** Structural integrity fields can accommodate the expected pressure, but that will tax the power systems, and a failure in the EPS grid would spell disaster. | |||
** Shuttle propulsion systems are sufficient in terms of thrust, but the heat they generate will boil the water around it, making navigation difficult. | |||
* The composition of the ocean itself may create challenges. | |||
** The ocean consists mostly of water, but the mineral profile is somewhat unique. | |||
** The water itself is relatively conductive to electricity, and we need to take care not to risk exposing ourselves or others to electrical shock. | |||
** The vacuum of space is a decent insulator, so we are not used to the degree of caution necessary to maintain safety in this environment. | |||
