The article discusses using a 5 kilowatt laser to drill down through the
ice of Europa to the subsurface ocean. This may also work to drill
beneath the ice at the Martian south pole for the recently discovered
liquid water lake.
For the Europa case, they needed nuclear power for the 5 kW laser. But
solar power might work for Mars.
