This video gives you a short overview over the GPRoG experiment, conducted during the AMADEE-15 Mars simulation of the Austrian Space Forum (OeWF). 
For the GPRoG experiment a GPR device was used which emits electromagnetic waves into the ground using a transmitter antenna. These waves are reflected by interfaces separating mediums of different electrical properties and can than be interpreted by our scientists. Using GPRoG on Mars can be useful in several ways: It is strongly related to water exploration since it is able to detect stored water ice as well as the possibility of past life.
