Why can the GRS only detect 20 elements and what makes those elements different from the ones that cant be detected?
Evan Cranbrook Middle School Bloomfield Hills, MI ANSWER: GRS can detect more than 20 elements, but we expect to find larger quantities of those 20 elements than any others and most of our attention will focus on them. We will particularly focus on elements like Hydrogen which is very important to look for because it will most likely be found bonded to Oxygen which means we can detect water. And of course, water is one of the building blocks of life as we know it and a vital part of sustaining any manned missions we might send to Mars in the future.
