This award is for support of a workshop to define a technology roadmap that will enable exploration and sampling under the ice of Lake Vostok in East Antarctica. In particular, the goals will be to identify the technological barriers to sampling the water and sediment of the lake, and to recommend to NSF a technology development plan to overcome these barriers. To achieve these goals, the workshop participants will (1) assess the current state-of-the-art in underwater exploration capabilities in the context of the science goals for future exploration activities; (2) identify critical yet feasible technologies that need to be developed in order to enable the science objectives; and (3) begin a continuing dialog between the science and technology communities over issues of importance to the exploration of subglacial lakes. This workshop will bring together a select group of participants representing the three communities of science, underwater technology and planetary protection/contamination. The workshop will be structured to include prepared presentations (by all three communities), panel discussions and informal discussions. The product of the workshop will be a report documenting the key findings of the workshop, and in particular the technology roadmap required to enable future science in Lake Vostok and other subglacial lakes.

该奖项是为了支持一个研讨会，以确定一个技术路线图，这将使勘探和采样下的湖东方在南极洲东部的冰。具体而言，目标将是确定对湖水和沉积物进行采样的技术障碍，并向NSF推荐一项克服这些障碍的技术开发计划。为实现这些目标，讲习班与会者将：（1）结合未来勘探活动的科学目标，评估水下勘探能力的当前最新水平;（2）确定为实现科学目标而需要开发的关键但可行的技术;（3）科学和技术界就冰下湖泊勘探的重要问题进行开始持续对话。 该讲习班将汇集一批代表科学界、水下技术界和行星保护/污染界的与会者。讲习班的结构将包括（所有三个社区）准备的发言、小组讨论和非正式讨论。 研讨会的成果将是一份报告，记录研讨会的主要成果，特别是使未来的科学在沃斯托克湖和其他冰下湖泊所需的技术路线图。
