U.S.S.R. scientists were developing highly efficient equipment for undersea exploration, Krasnaya Zvezda [Red Star] reported. A newly designed bathyscaphe, designated Sever-2, included a high degree of comfort for crew members. It had been fitted with complex instruments and could move independently in any direction, remain at a designated depth for long time, or descend to the bottom. (FBIS-Sov, 2/12/73, L4)
