The Right Chemistry: There s MOXIE on Mars

Article content Landing humans on Mars is a colossal challenge. Returning them to Earth is an even bigger one. Launching a return vessel requires fuel and oxygen, but the amounts needed exceed what could be transported from Earth and would therefore have to be produced on Mars. Combustible methane could possibly be produced from the carbon dioxide that makes up roughly 95 per cent of Mars’s atmosphere, but supplying the oxygen needed poses an immense problem. The hope is that the “Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment” that was delivered to the red planet aboard the Perseverance rover can serve as a prototype for the large-scale production of oxygen.
