During the mission, MOXIE extracted oxygen from the Martian atmosphere 16 times, testing a way that future astronauts could make rocket propellant that would launch them back to Earth. <\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">Credits: NASA\/JPL-Caltech<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Riding with the Perseverance rover, the instrument has proved to be a viable technology for astronauts on Mars to produce oxygen for fuel and breathing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the first astronauts land on Mars, they may have the descendants of a microwave-oven-size device to thank for the air they breathe and the rocket propellant that gets them home. That device, called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpl.nasa.gov\/news\/nasas-perseverance-mars-rover-extracts-first-oxygen-from-red-planet\" rel=\"noopener\">MOXIE<\/a> (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment), has generated oxygen for the 16th and final time aboard NASA\u2019s Perseverance rover. After the instrument proved far more successful than its creators at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) expected, its operations are concluding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMOXIE\u2019s impressive performance shows that it is feasible to extract oxygen from Mars\u2019 atmosphere \u2013 oxygen that could help supply breathable air or rocket propellant to future astronauts,\u201d said NASA Deputy Administrator Pam Melroy. \u201cDeveloping technologies that let us use resources on the Moon and Mars is critical to build a long-term lunar presence, create a robust lunar economy, and allow us to support an initial human exploration campaign to Mars.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Perseverance <a href=\"https:\/\/mars.nasa.gov\/news\/8865\/touchdown-nasas-mars-perseverance-rover-safely-lands-on-red-planet\/\" rel=\"noopener\">landed on Mars<\/a> in 2021, MOXIE has generated a total of 122 grams of oxygen \u2013 about what a small dog breathes in 10 hours. At its most efficient, MOXIE was able to produce 12 grams of oxygen an hour \u2013 twice as much as NASA\u2019s original goals for the instrument \u2013 at 98% purity or better. On its 16th run, on Aug. 7, the instrument made 9.8 grams of oxygen. MOXIE successfully completed all of its technical requirements and was operated at a variety of conditions throughout a full Mars year, allowing the instrument\u2019s developers to learn a great deal about the technology. <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"nasa-gb-align-center nasa-button-link padding-y-1 padding-x-0 hds-module wp-block-nasa-blocks-related-link\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/nasa\/moxies-air-compressor-pumping-away-on-mars\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button-primary button-primary-md link-external-true\" aria-label=\"MOXIE's Air Compressor Pumping Away on Mars\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t<span class=\"line-height-alt-1\">MOXIE's Air Compressor Pumping Away on Mars<\/span>\n\t\t<svg viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><circle class=\"button-primary-circle\" cx=\"16\" cy=\"16\" r=\"16\"><\/circle><path d=\"M8 16.956h12.604l-3.844 4.106 1.252 1.338L24 16l-5.988-6.4-1.252 1.338 3.844 4.106H8v1.912z\" class=\"color-spacesuit-white\"><\/path><\/svg>\n\t<\/a>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to have supported a breakthrough technology like MOXIE that could turn local resources into useful products for future exploration missions,\u201d said Trudy Kortes, director of technology demonstrations, Space Technology Mission Directorate (STMD) at NASA Headquarters in Washington, which funds the MOXIE demonstration. \u201cBy proving this technology in real-world conditions, we\u2019ve come one step closer to a future in which astronauts \u2018live off the land\u2019 on the Red Planet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MOXIE produces molecular oxygen through an electrochemical process that separates one oxygen atom from each molecule of carbon dioxide pumped in from Mars\u2019 thin atmosphere. As these gases flow through the system, they\u2019re analyzed to check the purity and quantity of the oxygen produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>First of Its Kind<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While many of Perseverance\u2019s experiments are addressing the mission\u2019s primary science goals, MOXIE was focused on future human exploration. MOXIE served as the first-ever demonstration of technology that humans could use to survive on, and leave, the Red Planet. An oxygen-producing system could help future missions in various ways, but the most important of them would be as a source of rocket propellant, which would be required in industrial quantities to launch rockets with astronauts for their return trip home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than bringing large quantities of oxygen with them to Mars, future astronauts could live off the land, using materials they find on the planet\u2019s surface to survive. This concept \u2013 called in-situ resource utilization, or ISRU \u2013 has evolved into a growing area of research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMOXIE has clearly served as inspiration to the ISRU community,\u201d said the instrument\u2019s principal investigator, Michael Hecht of MIT. \u201cIt showed NASA is willing to invest in these kinds of future technologies. And it has been a flagship that has influenced the exciting industry of space resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Future Focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step wouldn\u2019t be building MOXIE 2.0 \u2013 although Hecht and his team have learned a lot about how to design a more efficient version of the instrument. Rather, it would be to create a full-scale system that includes an oxygen generator like MOXIE and a way to liquefy and store that oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But more than anything, Hecht would like to see other technologies get their turn on Mars. \u201cWe have to make decisions about which things need to be validated on Mars,\u201d Hecht said. \u201cI think there are many technologies on that list; I\u2019m very pleased MOXIE was first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More About the Mission<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A key objective for Perseverance\u2019s mission on Mars is <a href=\"https:\/\/astrobiology.nasa.gov\/\" rel=\"noopener\">astrobiology<\/a>, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet\u2019s geology and past climate, pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet, and be the first mission to collect and cache Martian rock and regolith (broken rock and dust).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subsequent NASA missions, in cooperation with ESA (European Space Agency), would send spacecraft to Mars to collect these sealed samples from the surface and return them to Earth for in-depth analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mars 2020 Perseverance mission is part of NASA\u2019s Moon to Mars exploration approach, which includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/specials\/artemis\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Artemis<\/a> missions to the Moon that will help prepare for human exploration of the Red Planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed for the agency by Caltech in Pasadena, California, built and manages operations of the Perseverance rover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JPL manages the MOXIE project for the Technology Demonstration Missions program within STMD.

In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) into the chassis of NASA\u2019s next Mars rover. MOXIE will demonstrate a way that future explorers might produce oxygen from the Martian atmosphere for propellant and for breathing. The car-battery-sized instrument does this by collecting carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Martian atmosphere and electrochemically splitting the carbon dioxide molecules into oxygen and carbon monoxide molecules. The oxygen is then analyzed for purity before being vented back out to the Martian atmosphere along with the carbon monoxide and other exhaust products.\n\nThe image was taken on March 20, 2019, in the Spacecraft Assembly Facility\u2019s High Bay 1 Cleanroom at NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, California."},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505480"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505480"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505480\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":553777,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505480\/revisions\/553777"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505480"},{"taxonomy":"news-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-tags?post=505480"},{"taxonomy":"internal-terms","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-terms?post=505480"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=505480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
