We are thrilled to announce that our recent article, published in the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, has been selected by IEEE Spectrum for their prestigious „Journal Watch“ series. This series highlights some of the most compelling research across a wide range of IEEE journals, reaching a global audience of professionals and enthusiasts alike.
Our article provides an overview of the FRS (Forefield Reconnaissance System), a vital component of TRIPLE. Being featured in IEEE Spectrum’s „Journal Watch“ series is a significant recognition of our work and showcases our progress to a broader audience in the scientific community.
You can read the featured article on IEEE Spectrum’s website here. Additionally, the original paper is available for reference here.
We extend our gratitude to IEEE Spectrum for this opportunity to share our research with the world. Stay tuned for more updates on our innovative project!

Our TRIPLE-IceCraft melting probe operators have arrived at Neumayer Station III on the Ekström Ice Shelf in Antarctica to continue testing the TRIPLE-IceCraft. Our four-person team consists of Dirk Heinen, Simon Zierke and Jan Audehm from RWTH Aachen University and Fabian Schöttler from GSI GmbH, Aachen. Following a 106-hour journey via Oslo, Cape Town, and the Norwegian Troll Station, we reached Neumayer Station III. Further details about our journey can already be accessed on Instagram and Twitter. We will continue to report on our tests and station life there. A new entry for the DLR blog is also in preparation.

At the 20th International Planetary Probe Workshop (IPPW) in Marseille, a presentation was submitted to share the latest test results of the TRIPLE-IceCraft melting probe conducted in the Ekström Ice Shelf in Antarctica.

For the TRIPLE-FRS project, Niklas Haberberger gave a poster presentation to introduce the subsystems, along with the integrated FRS system showcased inside a demonstrator.

From March 26 to April 13, 2023, the final demonstration of TRIPLE-FRS took place on the Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland. During the field test, the FRS system, which included sonar, radar, and permittivity components, was integrated into a melting probe. Both the melting performance and individual system tests were conducted

During the spring meeting 2023 of the DPG (German Physical Society) in Dresden, Mia Giang Do gave a presentation focusing on the TRIPLE-IceCraft melting probe and the TRIPLE-FRS system as part of an invited prize talk.

From January to March 2023, the demonstration of the TRIPLE-IceCraft melting probe took place on the Ekström Ice Shelf, near Neumayer-Station III. The field test was conducted by a team from the Physics Institute III B (RWTH Aachen University) and the GSI GmbH (Aachen).
