Meet ‘MOXIE’, a small Nasa device that for the first time made oxygen on Mars

Nasa's MOXIE instrument has successfully extracted oxygen from Martian carbon dioxide during its operation on Mars from 2021 to 2023. This innovative device proved vital for potential future missions to the Red Planet by producing 122 grams of oxygen, far surpassing its goals. The achievement underscores the ability to generate essential resources locally on Mars, paving the way for human exploration.
