Martian field test: Drilling in Greenland to prepare for Mars

Article Abstract:

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, is designing the ice drill named Chronos in order to melt its way into Earth's ice sheet above the Arctic Circle as a test of its worthiness for the coveted NASA mission to Mars in 2011. Chronos is drilling in Summit Camp, Greenland, to prepare for Mars, as ice is the only accessible climate record on it.
