Title
Jacques Cousteau
Full Description
Jacques Cousteau, the French undersea researcher, is shown
addressing members of the press on his experiences during an
Antarctic expedition with the oceanographic ship, Calypso. The
Calypso used satellite communication and weather equipment
provided by NASA to test the accuracy of satellite observations in
relation to the ship's surface observations. Calypso used satellite
observation information to navigate into safe waters after getting
hit by an iceberg. Cousteau was born in Saint-Andre-de-Cubzac,
France on June 11, 1910. He died on June 25, 1997, after
contributing various books and hundreds of documents on the
chartless realms that make up the planet's oceans. In 1956, with
the help of Calypso and her crew, Cousteau received an Academy
award for his undersea documentary, The Silent World, and
cemented his position as one of the world's most famous marine
biologists.
