It is a device for measuring nuclear radiation from a planet to detect different materials. However, it only gives accurate results within a few hundred kilometers.
The new method was developed by Dr. Joshua Bandfield of Arizona State University. According to the doctor, water in the form of ice accounts for about 1/3 to 1/2 of the surface of the Red planet. These data are important for the mission to launch the Mars Mars probe in August and the mission to bring a device to the surface of the Red planet to dig ice.
