“We have learned a tremendous amount that will inform future systems at a larger scale,” says Michael Hecht, principal investigator of the MOXIE mission at MIT’s Haystack Observatory. MIT researchers ran seven experimental trials in 2021, showing that the lunchbox-sized MOXIE could produce at least 6 grams of breathable oxygen in a variety of atmospheric conditions, day or night, and during different Martian seasons.

Results from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)-run MOXIE experiment are published in Science Advances. The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, (MOXIE) has been producing oxygen from Mars’s CO 2-rich atmosphere since April 2021. At its peak, the tool produced as much as 10 grams of O 2 an hour.
