Tektite
II was coordinated by Dept of Interior, USA. It was meant for the psychological
study of the scientific teams working in closed environments, similar to that
of spacecraft.
The missions were carried out in 1970. Tektite II comprised ten missions lasting 10-20 days with four scientists and an engineer on each mission. The Tektite II missions were the first to undertake in-depth ecological studies.
Medical and human research oversight for Tektite II was well documented in a series of reports covering a project overview, saturation diving, lessons learned from Tektite I,application to Tektite II, medical responsibilities and psychological monitoring, medical supervision duties medical and biological objectives project logistics, lessons learned, excursions to deeper depths from storage pressure, general medical observations,psychological observations etc.
Covers were sent from the Underwater habitat during those days from the Tektite 2. The above is a lovely cover with a blue cachet " Dispatched from the Ocean Floor" dated April 16, 1970.
