NASA's Perseverance rover achieved another historic first on Mars using the MOXIE experiment—a toaster-sized instrument that successfully converted the Red Planet's thin CO2-rich atmosphere into oxygen on April 20, marking sol 60 since the February 18 landing.

OxEon Energy offers free access to its IAA Acta Astronautica publication detailing MOXIE's first 18 months producing oxygen on Mars. The historic NASA and MIT collaboration achieved the first-ever fuel production off Earth's surface, paving the way for human Mars exploration.
