A deal. they pulled it up, fixed it. and sent it back down. in all they covered about 35 square miles of the ocean floor down there. and once they have downloaded this latest data, they will send it back down again. >> and in terms of analyzing the data, there is still no information on what they got on this third trip? not yet, they do tend to release it quickly. the first two missions they say nothing of significance in the data. now, we'll remember the first time they went down there that is the area they really want to search. and it was cut short because the bluefin thought it was a littl...

We have more on the technology that can retrieve the objects from the depth we are talking about. take a look. >> reporter: this could be the key to solving the mystery of flight 370. it's a remotely operated vehicle or rov for short. once wreckage of flight 370 is identified, an rov like this one is likely the next crucial step in finding the plane's black box it is controlled from the surface using this joy stick. has lights to illuminate the stark black of the ocean deep. cameras transmitting back footage in realtime. >> tms. >> and high frequency sonar to combat the notoriously difficult v...
