We admire your MOXIE, Earthlings: Perseverance rover gizmo produces oxygen for first time on Mars

First, COVID vaccinations, now atmosphere generators for an alien world? We re really cooking on gas now Share Copy Earthlings have succeeded in creating oxygen away from their lush home world and on the unforgiving dust planet Mars for the first time, using equipment on a robot they have lovingly dubbed Perseverance. The gas was created in what s been called MOXIE: the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment. For this test, a toaster-sized atmospheric recycler made of 3D-printed nickel alloy parts, insulating aerogel, and a gold outer coat for infrared heat protection, distilled five grams of oxygen from the Martian atmosphere, which is 96 per cent carbon dioxide. That s enough oxygen for about ten minutes of breathing time for a human.
