The 18-mo.-long Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP), managed by Scripps Institution of Oceanography under a prime contract with the National Science Foundation, is a team effort using top scientists, technicians, and administrators from industry, government, and the 5 JOIDES institutions. When the Glomar Challenger sailed into her home port of San Diego for the first time early in April, it marked the mid-point of one of the most successful ventures of our time--in business, government, and science. One accomplishment is the evaluation of new tools and techniques. These include a power sub, a dual elevator system, the drill string, pipe inspection, coring equipment, and the dynamic positioning system. Many of the technological developments that have made the DSDP possible are a direct result of 10 yr of research effort in Project Mohole. New tools and technology being explored are a re-entry system, a downhole turbine motor, downhole instrumentation and telemetry system, a retractable bit, and other sampling techniques including logging. E.L. Gealy and T.A. Davies (Scripps Inst. of Oceanogr.) describe how the scientific work is carried out. M.N.A. Peterson states that the DSDP seeks to determine the age of the ocean basins and the history of their formation and modification. A summary is given of the scientific achievements.
