Скачать или смотреть NASA’s Mars Rover Sets New Oxygen Creation Record

With NASA’s future plans of landing humans on Mars and transporting them to and from the planet, one of the most important challenges is the lack of air. There is less than 1% of air on Mars as there is on Earth, and carbon dioxide makes up about 96% of it on Mars. While not ideal, this does present an opportunity to turn that CO2 into oxygen.

A few years ago when the Perseverance Rover landed on the Martian surface, it not only began its main purpose related to sample collection but also creating oxygen. It does this using MOXIE, the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment. Just recently, researchers pushed MOXIE to a maximum production level — a factor of two higher than reached earlier.

This was able to produce a substantial amount of oxygen compared to previous tests. With this, the agency is more confident in what the future holds as they continue to develop this technology. Here I will go more in-depth into this new milestone, the MOXIE payload, what to expect in the coming months, and more.
