{description}   The one-man submarine dubbed DeepWorker 2000 sits on the deck of
                Liberty Star, one of two KSC solid rocket booster recovery ships.
                Inside the sub is the pilot, Anker Rasmussen. The sub is being
                tested on its ability to duplicate the sometimes hazardous job
                United Space Alliance (USA) divers perform to recover the
                expended boosters in the ocean after a launch. The boosters
                splash down in an impact area about 140 miles east of
                Jacksonville and after recovery are towed back to KSC for
                refurbishment by the specially rigged recovery ships. DeepWorker
                2000 was built by Nuytco Research Ltd., North Vancouver, British
                Columbia. It is 8.25 feet long, 5.75 feet high, and weighs 3,800
                pounds. USA is a prime contractor to NASA for the Space Shuttle
                program.
