MOXIE

  • The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) instrument is the first example of its kind to produce oxygen on the planet using Martian atmospheric components.
  • The MOXIE developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology works like a tree, splitting carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere to produce pure oxygen. A small box sent with the Perseverence rover of the NASA.
  • Inside Moxie, Martian air is first filtered in and pressurised. It is then sent through the Solid Oxide Electrolyzer that electrochemically splits the carbon dioxide-rich air into oxygen ions and carbon monoxide.
  • The oxygen ions are isolated and recombined to form breathable, molecular oxygen (O2). Finally, the gas is measured and tested for purity before being released into the atmosphere.
