The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) has generated oxygen for the 16th and final time aboard NASA’s Perseverance rover on August 7th. Its operations are concluding.

 

 

Since 2021, MOXIE has generated a total of 122 grams of oxygen. MOXIE was built and operated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
