NASA to produce oxygen from Mars' atmosphere

Last month, NASA's Perseverance Rover launched 'Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment'

The experiment, also known as 'MOXIE', aims to produce oxygen from Mars' carbon dioxide-atmosphere

Carbon dioxide makes up ~96% of the gas in Mars' atmosphere; Oxygen is only 0.13%

Sized like a car battery, MOXIE functions like a tree; it inhales carbon dioxide and exhales oxygen

NASA aims to produce up to 10 grams of oxygen per hour

Inside MOXIE, CO2 is heated up to 1500°F and is split into carbon monoxide and oxygen

Scientists are currently working to figure out the efficiency rate of MOXIE
