"Sealab" tells the story of how the U.S. Navy program tried to develop the marine equivalent of the space station--and why the Navy pulled the plug. Hellwarth has interviewed surviving members of the three Sealab experiments in addition to conducting archival research to tell this first comprehensive story about the Sealab program.

For the SEALAB II project, the U. S. Naval Ordnance Test Station was assigned responsibility for all surface operational support. The underwater site was selected in cooperation with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. A staging area was established at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard and a staging vessel was provided and modified to meet the needs of the program. Complete system integration and checkout were performed. All necessary operational support, personnel, equipment, and material were supplied. (Author)

Download Undersea Geopolitics Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book furthers academic scholarship in cutting-edge areas of geographical and geopolitical writing by drawing on a series of little-studied undersea living projects conducted by the US Navy during the Cold War (Project Genesis, Sealab I, II and III). Supported by an engaging and novel empirical setting, the central themes of the book revolve around the practice and construct of ‘territory’, ‘terrain’, the ‘elemental’ and the interrelationships between these material phenomenon and both human and non-human bodies. Furthermore, the book will point to future research trajectories in the form of ‘extreme geographies’ to better understand living practices in a world that is increasingly submerged and extreme.

Download Papa Topside Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A pioneer in the field of deep-sea diving, George F. Bond helped develop the theory of saturation diving and the techniques and dive tables used by divers around the world. In this edited journal Bond offers a lively account of his work with the U.S. Navy’s first manned undersea habitats, the Sealab experiments of the 1960s. Dubbed “Papa Topside” by the media that followed his work with Navy aquanauts, Bond gives a colorful eyewitness account of what today are considered benchmarks in the history of diving. This is a candid, personal record of Sealabs I, II, and III, and the FISSH experiment, the finale of Bond’s career. The picture that emerges is one of a brilliant, larger-than-life figure who, though often difficult to get along with, earned the respect and affection of his peers. The book draws on the editor’s interviews with Bond’s fellow researchers and divers, editor Helen Siiteri as well as Bond’s daily logs and correspondence. Always frank and to the point, he describes his frustrations with the Navy brass, his friendly competition with Jacques Cousteau, and his spirited relationship with aquanaut/astronaut Scott Carpenter. As the only full-length book written about U.S. aquanauts and their undersea exploits, it is an important historical document. It is also an entertaining read.

Download Studies of Divers' Performance During the Sealab II Project Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Field studies of the three 10 men teams of divers participating in the SEALAB II project were undertaken. During each team's 15 day submergence at 205 feet, psychomotor tests and a vision test were conducted in the water, and a mental arithmetic test in the habitat. Compared to base line performance (dry-land and shallow water conditions), performance on the mental arithmetic test showed no deterioration while performance on the psychomotor tests showed considerable deterioration. Many divers found that their in-water activities proceeded slowly; among other causes of a more physical nature, concern for one's safety may detract from the amount of attention one gives to the task at hand. The most active divers in the SEALAB group were those who indicated that they were least fearful and least aroused by the conditions and who were helpful, gregarious, and made least telephone contact with the outside world.

The report summarizes research progress under Project ARGUS for the period October 1965 to June 1967, and presents research plans for the five years 1968 - 1972. The accomplished research reported includes work on groups in isolation, social penetration, ecological aspects of behavior, sensory reduction, affect measurement, comparative monotony, activity measures, social comparison processes, behavioral contagion, Project SEALAB, expectancy confirmation, and stress. The report summarizes research described in more detail in 55 journal articles, chapters, and presentations to professional societies. The project plans for the next five years envision continuing efforts in most of the above areas, with an increased emphasis on training, computer modelling, and larger isolated groups. (Author).
