This toaster-sized device at the bottom left is producing oxygen on Mars, bringing humanity one step closer to the vision of landing on the "red planet"!
The device, called the "Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment Instrument" (MOXIE), was carried on the NASA Perseverance rover that landed on Mars in February last year. In the past year, MOXIE has successfully performed many experiments. In different seasons and day and night, the carbon dioxide rich in the Martian atmosphere is converted into oxygen at a rate similar to that of a small tree on Earth. It is also the first time in the history of space exploration that the natural resources of another planet have been extracted for human missions.
