As NASA tests lightweight composites on spacecraft, it helped make the Titan vessel that went missing on its way to tour Titanic wreckage.
Titan, the submersible carrying five crew members that went missing near the site of the Titanic, was completed at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. "NASA’s advanced composite manufacturing capability is ideally suited for the high precision and high-quality requirements of our latest hull design.
The wreckage of the Titanic is located about 12,500 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. At that depth, the water would exert over 5,500 pounds of pressure per square inch . OceanGate repeatedly boasted about its partnership with NASA in designing and manufacturing the sub. NASA said it has been testing super lightweight aerospace composites for rockets and spacecraft to reduce mass. Decreasing mass reduces the amount of fuel needed to propel a craft to space. The partnership, NASA said, is beneficial in its goal of exploring deep space.

What we know about the Titanic-bound submersible that's missing with 5 people onboardA search is underway for a deep-sea vessel that was reported missing with five people aboard after it dove toward the deteriorating wreck site of the Titanic ocean liner. The small craft, named Titan, is in a remote area of the North Atlantic Ocean where the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank in 1912. The Titan’s dive on Sunday is one of many that have been made to the wreck by OceanGate Expeditions since 2021. The undersea exploration company has been chronicling of the Titanic shipwreck's decay as well as the underwater ecosystem that has sprung up around it over the last century.
