Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (STMD) (MOXIE)

NASA TechPort describes MOXIE as a completed Game Changing Development technology project and 1%-scale oxygen-processing plant for Mars 2020. The experiment demonstrated consumable-grade oxygen production from the Martian atmosphere at roughly 20 grams per hour across seasons, testing resilience to dust and environmental variation and validating a key precursor to larger Mars oxygen plants.
