Mechanical Shock Analysis and Testing of an Air-Dropped Antarctic Ice Penetrator

The Seismo-Geodetic Ice Penetrator (SGIP) is an air-dropped kinetic penetrator that will deposit a geophysics-grade seismometer and GPS receiver into Antarctic ice shelves. These instruments will measure vibrations in the infragravity (< 0.1 Hz) range to improve understanding of forces that cause...
