The British Antarctic Survey has released images of a giant drone being used to explore inaccessible parts of Antarctica in order to study the effects of climate change. The drone is operated remotely and is being used to map the region, with engineers monitoring it from a computer.
NASA's Ingenuity helicopter completed its 50th flight around Mars, which has completely changed space exploration, according to ANU Astrophysicist and Cosmologist Brad Tucker. Operating remotely due to the distance and lack of atmosphere on Mars, the drone's regular use for exploring the planet is a significant achievement.
Europe's first remotely operated underwater laboratory, the Laboratoire Sous-marin Provence Méditerranée (LSPM), is being set up off the coast of Toulon at a depth of 2,450 meters. The lab will study neutrino detection, marine science, and seismology, among other things. The ORCA section of the Kilometer Cube Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT) will be powered by the lab's junction boxes, which are connected to a power system on land via a 42-kilometer-long electro-optical cable. The lab's other devices, including a robot called BathyBot, are expected to be operational by this summer.
