Oxygen in Mars with MOXIE

in hive-102306 •  4 years ago 

The meaning of MOXIE is "Mars OXygen In-situ resource utilization Experiment" MOXIE will demonstrate a method for future explorers to collect oxygen from the Martian atmosphere for propellant and breathing. NASA is planning for human colonization of Mars, and MOXIE will make a method for future explorers to produce oxygen from the Martian atmosphere for propellant and breathing.

we deeply consider about MOXIE, MOXIE's size was the same size as a car battery. On Earth, it weighed 37.7 pounds and 14.14 pounds on Mars. MOXIE's volume was 9.4×9.4×12.2 inches. Its primary function is to extract oxygen from the carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere.MOXIE produces oxygen in the same way as a tree does. It breathes in carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen.

MOXIE desires a temperature of 800 degrees Celsius in order to obtain oxygen. It emitted oxygen for the first time on April 20, 2021, after heating for two hours to reach 800 degrees Celsius. MOXIE produced 5.4 kg of oxygen in just one hour.NASA's scientists have planned to operate MOXIE nine times over the next two years.
The maximum production rate of MOXIE is 10 kg of oxygen per hour. However, scientists have determined that the full production rate would not be reached for the first time.However this is a great victory in human history.

Michael Hecht, the Mars 2020 project Principal Investigator, has spoken out.

"When we send humans to Mars, we will want them to return safely, and to do that they need a rocket to lift off the planet. Liquid oxygen propellant is something we could make there and not have to bring with us. One idea would be to bring an empty oxygen tank and fill it up on Mars."source
