The demonstration took place at a site around 1 km south of the edge of the Ekström Ice Shelf, near Neumayer Station III. The TRIPLE-IceCraft successfully drilled a hole into the ice, reaching a depth of 53 m, while documenting the melting process and surrounding ice structures. The imaging system consists of three cameras oriented toward the wall of the melt channel and evenly distributed around the probe with an angular separation of 120°. Each camera features a field of view of 29 mm (horizontal) × 22 mm (vertical) with a spatial resolution of 10 µm per pixel. The primary objective of this mission was to demonstrate the capabilities of the melting probe technology in a real-world scenario.-8.25-8.21094-70.65-70.575Dronning Maud Land, AntarcticaAlfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhavenhttps://doi.org/10.13039/501100003207AWI_ANT_20TripleIceCraftFederal Ministry of Research, Technology and Spacehttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000234750RK1955TRIPLE-IceCraft - Entwicklung einer Schmelzsonde (GSI GmbH)Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Spacehttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000234750RK1956TRIPLE-IceCraft - Entwicklung einer Schmelzsonde (RWTH Aachen)Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Spacehttps://doi.org/10.13039/50110000234750RK2450ATRIPLE-IceCraft-2 - Erforschung und Entwicklung einer Schmelzsonde (GSI GmbH)
