Endurance Mission 2 December 11 2009 Stone Aerospace The complex december 3, 2009 bathymetry mission had as its initial objective the completion of lake floor mapping southeast of the lter limno cables (shown as a cluster of four maroon spots south of ac02). it then proceeded north to fill in gaps in the november 30th mapping zone, and finally ended with automated sonde tests east of the melt hole. A total of 19 sub ice sorties were logged by endurance during the wlb 2008 mission and 27 sub ice sorties during the wlb 2009 mission. the vehicle spent 243 h below the wlb ice cap and traversed 74 km of lake bed and glacier face in the performance of drop sonde, lake mapping, and glacier mapping objectives.
Endurance Mission 2 December 3 2009 Stone Aerospace The endurance mission has demonstrated new underwater mapping capabilities to enhance the understanding of extreme, unique environments. the sonar mapping at lake bonney required full 3 d capabilities as the glacier face was an important focus of the stud,y and in fact turned out to contain signi cant overhangs and cavities. Endurance (environmentally non disturbing under ice robotic antarctic explorer) is a $2.3 million project funded by nasa's astrobiology science and technology for exploring planets (astep) program. the probe is an autonomous underwater vehicle designed to swim untethered under ice, creating three dimensional maps of underwater environments. the probe will collect data on conditions in those. The endurance mission goals include traversing the entire ˘1 km ˘ 2 km lobe of the lake to obtain a full 3 d synoptic chemical profile, high resolution mapping of the lake bottom with a. Endurance: mission 2: december 6, 2009 west lake bonney, taylor valley, antarctica reporting from east lake bonney basecamp sunday is “brunch” day at mcmurdo station, so the team met for breakfast at 11am before going their separate ways to begin sorting out their various chores and responsibilities.
