NASA's Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, or MOXIE, has successfully generated oxygen on Mars. MOXIE was carried on the Perseverance rover, which landed on Mars in February 2021. MOXIE works by splitting carbon dioxide molecules in the Martian atmosphere into oxygen and carbon monoxide. MOXIE was designed to produce 10 grams of oxygen per hour, but it has exceeded that goal, producing up to 12 grams of oxygen per hour at its most efficient.
