It's been a successful three months of tests in the frigid waters beneath Antarctica for Britney Schmidt's Icefin robot. Schmidt, an assistant professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, is heading back to campus with new data that will help prepare the torpedo-shaped drone for its ultimate mission: Searching the subterranean oceans of Jupiter's moon Europa for any signs of life.
