Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: The recovery of the GEOPROBE was attempted without success from the vicinity of the M-2 mooring. The GEOPROBE is designed to be recovered by reeling in a cable attached to a float which is designed to rise to the surface when an acoustic release mechanism (100 kHz) attached to the GEOPROBE tripod is activated by a signal from the recovery ship. As during Leg 4, signal commands were sent to the acoustic release system without success but a responding signal from the GEOPROBE indicated the tripod was inplace and probably still operable. Recovery was then attempted by dragging the seabottom with grappling hooks. Recovery operations were suspended until Leg 1 of Cruise 3 (1 May - 8 May 1990).
