An instrument the size of a lunchbox has proven it can do the work of a small tree by successfully generating oxygen on the dusty surface of Mars. The instrument — called the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) — has been making oxygen from Mars’s carbon-dioxide-rich atmosphere since last year, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists who pioneered the effort. MOXIE touched down on the Red Planet’s surface last year as part of NASA’s Perseverance mission in February 2021. By the end of the year, the instrument was able to produce oxygen on seven experimental runs in a variety of atmospheric conditions, times of day and Martian seas
