Figure F11. Diagrams and photographs of the three Motion Decoupled Hydraulic Delivery System (MDHDS) components, Expedition 342. The multiFunction Telemetry Module (MFTM) allows real-time communication with the electronic RS (ERS) and other tools. The ERS delivers and retrieves the MDHDS and the attached downhole tool to the bottom-hole assembly (BHA). The MDHDS, once seated in the BHA, is the platform from which the penetrometer (or some tool to be designed in the future) is deployed. Two penetrometers, the temperature-dual-pressure probe (T2P) and the Sediment Temperature-Pressure Tool (SET-P) can be deployed with the MDHDS.
