Researchers from the MARUM Research Facility at the University of Bremen are coordinating an effort to potentially explore underwater life beneath the thick ice sheets of Antarctica and ocean worlds like Europa and Enceladus with the TRIPLE project. The most recent project is known as TRIPLE-nanoAUV 2 and will be working in tandem with TRIPLE-GNC and TRIPLE-LifeDetect, which are part of a larger project known as the DLR Explorer initiatives. TRIPLE stands for “Technologies for Rapid Ice Penetration and subglacial Lake Exploration” and the goal will be to develop technologies capable of penetrating thick ice sheets, exploring the underwater regions beneath them with appropriate scientific sensors, retrieving samples, and how to not contaminate the ecosystem, also known as planetary protection.
