On this day in 2009, The Scarlet Knight makes history as the first underwater robotic glider to cross the Atlantic. A glider is an autonomous underwater vehicle used to collect critical information about undersea conditions. Its trip from New Jersey to Spain—the culmination of years of work by a Rutgers-led team—was keenly tracked by marine scientists and hobbyists around the world. #DYKRutgers | #RutgersPride | #RutgersExcellence
