NASA Successfully Completes Oxygen Production Experiment on Mars

September 11, 2023

NASA has successfully completed an experiment on Mars to produce oxygen. Scientists attached the device called MOXIE to the Perseverance rover, which generated oxygen for 2 years under extremely harsh conditions. During this time, the device produced 122 grams of oxygen, equivalent to the amount consumed by a small dog in 10 minutes. Scientists deemed this outcome as an excellent result.
