A team of imaging experts, scientists and historians will set sail for the Titanic to gather the most detailed photographic record ever made of the wreck, the BBC writes.
They’ll be using state-of-the-art technology to scan every nook and cranny of the famous liner to gain new insights into its sinking.
The expedition is being mounted by a U.S. company, which to date has brought up some 5,500 objects from the wreck.
Two robotic vehicles will dive to the ocean bottom to capture millions of high-resolution photographs and to make a 3D model of all the debris.
Weather permitting, the robots should spend 20 days above the wreck.
Five men died last year while trying to visit the lost ship in a novel submersible. A joint memorial service will be held at sea in the coming days for them and the 1,500 passengers and crew who went down with Titanic in 1912.
