There are many obstacles to overcome before humans can set foot on Mars, including problems surrounding launch mass and closed-loop systems and the hazards of space radiation.

In 2021, an experimental instrument called the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, or MOXIE, attached to NASA’s Perseverance rover on Mars, was able to convert carbon dioxide in the ...

Elwell is chief operating officer of OxEon Energy, which designed, developed and manufactured the solid oxide electrolyzer at the heart of the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment — or ...

This already exists as Nasa’s Perseverance rover has its Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilisation Experiment, or MOXIE for short. The device can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen at the same ...

Modern-day Mars may be more hospitable to oxygen-breathing life than previously thought. A new study suggests that salty water at or near the surface of the red planet could contain enough ...

We've reported before on the idea of having a balloon explore the atmosphere of Venus, and we closely watched the progress of the Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (MOXIE) as part of the Perseverance ...

Inside a giant sphere, the engineers pored over their equipment. Before them stood a silvery metal contraption swathed in colourful wires – a box that they hope will one day make oxygen on the moon.

The process can produce 25 times more oxygen than the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilisation Experiment (MOXIE) using the same amount of power. MOXIE is currently on its way to the Red Planet ...
