Robot Plumbs Wisconsin Lake On Way To Antarctica, Jovian Moon

Scientists are testing a robotic probe in a polar-style, under-ice exploration of Madison’s Lake Mendota that may have out-of-this world applications. The wintry Wisconsin conditions are hoped to simulate and to demonstrate whether the probe’s systems can operate in icy conditions as a first test of using such a vehicle in a similar environment on Jupiter’s moon Europa.
