Sensor Being Developed to Check for Life on Mars

Researchers are in the process of developing a tool that will allow scientists to test if there are even the smallest traces of life on Mars. The tool will test for elements of the molecular building blocks for life as well as if those building blocks were created by something alive The instrument is called the UREY or the Mars Organic and Oxidant detector. The Urey has shown its amazing capability's in the Atacama Desert in Chile, which is one of the most hostile climates on Earth. So lets see how the Urey does on Mars!
