Re: New Endurance AUV
The crust is likely miles think. I think one of the ideas is to use "mole digging" or "inchworm digging", where the vehicle would melt a shaft and it'd refreeze up above it. It'd trail a small cable behind it for communication with the surface. Speculation is that nuclear power would be used to generate the heat and power the device. I can't find anything about it, but this article about doing Lake Vostok is fairly interesting: |
