Boring 20km into Europa's surface

· mechanical · ice · nasa · jpl

During an internship at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2016, I designed a system to test a concept for a probe to explore inside of Jupiter’s moon Europa. It uses a circular saw rotating about the vertical axis to create a borehole in ice, which on Europa would be ~20 km deep. I was an author of a paper on this system published in IEEE aerospace, available here. Read more...
