在1968年至1983年的15年里,“格罗玛·挑战者号”完成了96个钻探航次,总里程超过60×104公里,在624个钻位上钻探了1092个深海钻孔,采集深海岩心总长超过97公里,采集范围覆盖了除北冰洋之外的全球各大洋。随着第一阶段(1-9航次)、第二阶段(10-25航次)和第三阶段(26-44航次)的顺利展开,1975年,苏联、联邦德国、英国、日本等国也加入了该项计划,深海钻探计划进入了大洋钻探的国际协作阶段(International Phase of Ocean Drilling,IPOD)。1983年11月,“格罗玛·挑战者号”退役,接替它的是更加先进的“乔迪斯·决心号”,深海钻探计划也随之改称为大洋钻探计划。
