The disappearance of famed aviator #AmeliaEarhart in 1937 during her round-the-world attempt has inspired plenty of discoveries and dead ends over the decades. Will this lead to the end of the mystery, or just another dead end? https://cosmiclog.com/2024/01/29/image-revives-hopes-of-solving-amelia-earhart-mystery/ #Earhart #DeepSeaVision

The HiSAS syntheic aperture SSS on DSV’s Hugin is one of the best of such systems but the organisation of the mission, as described, didn’t appear to give enough resources to reviewing imagery produced by the HiSAS. Even if the Hugin’s CathX camera was unserviceable, a revisit using only the HiSAS should’ve been sufficient to confirm whether the target is, at least, an aircraft.
The story has legs, some miles left to run!
