The wreckage of the titanic will be documented with important features of the site using laser scans and 4k video that will be combined with high-resolution images to create a photorealistic virtual 3-D model of the shipwreck. For this, the mission specialists who will be accepted to join the expertise will play a vital role in transporting the citizen scientists and explorers to the wreck-site, according to OceanGate.

It will be a journey of about 12,467 feet below the surface of the ocean.
The first schedule will be inaugurated by late-May through mid-July and there are six missions scheduled for it. Each mission will last 10 days and will involve unfettered, eight to 10-hour, 5-crew-member submersible dives that will be transporting citizen scientists and explorers to the wreck-site. Another set of series will run in summer 2022, according to OceanGate.
