NASA's MOXIE Completes Mars Mission
Recently, in a significant achievement, NASA's MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilisation Experiment) has accomplished its mission by generating oxygen on Mars.
- MOXIE has successfully produced oxygen for the 16th time aboard NASA's Perseverance rover.
- This microwave-oven-sized device was designed to convert Martian CO2 into oxygen, with potential applications for future human missions to Mars.
- Since its landing in 2021, MOXIE has exceeded expectations, generating a total of 122 grams of oxygen, surpassing NASA's original goals.
- The produced oxygen boasts a purity of 98% or higher, suitable for both breathing and rocket propellant purposes.
- MOXIE operates by using an ....
