World first: An Oshen C-Star becomes the first USV to collect data in a Category 5 hurricane. Data used in official forecast discussion by the National Hurricane Centre (NHC). Lowest pressure reading 955mBar, wind gusts at NHC corrected height over 150 miles per hour. "This opens up the possibility of more routine use of C-Stars for hurricane data collection in the future in support of hurricane research and forecasting."- Greg Folz, NOAA AOML
