Mission overview
A space capsule carrying astronauts has crash-landed in the ocean. The astronauts are trapped inside, and the valuable space cargo they brought back from orbit is still with the pod. Sunken debris from the crash is also polluting the ocean floor. Your ROV must open the hatch, rescue the astronauts, recover the cargo, and clean up the debris.
Your mission is to:
Open the hatch.
Return the astronauts to the surface.
Retrieve the space cargo and bring it back to the surface.
Collect debris from the ocean floor and bring it back to the surface.
