This design feature enabled it to be transported to schools and other venues for touring and educational outreach between missions.

Many classroom to seafloor connections were made, including links to schools in Oklahoma, Florida, California and north of the Arctic Circle in Canada's Baffin Bay such as Pond Inlet, Nunavut.

The link schedule also included linkage with a NASA team of investigators in isolation at the Johnson Space Center where they were testing long term, advanced life support systems.

On board the Scott Carpenter Station, investigators also tested space life support systems for growth of plants in remote and extreme environments.

Following the flight, visitors to the seafloor station included motion picture director James Cameron, who conferenced with students in Pond Inlet, Nunavut via satellite phone, as well as producer Eugene Roddenberry II and Mount Everest Explorer–climber, Tom Whittaker.
