Europa Submarine Prototype Gets Another Test

The probe also will take samples of microbial life. Earlier this year, it operated successfully in a 25 meter frozen lake in Wisconsin, USA. Now it will plunge under a permanently ice covered lake in Antarctica that is 40 meters deep. ENDURANCE isn't like the Mars Rovers or other remote-operated probes. Once deployed, it's on its own to systematically explore, take water samples, and find its way back.
