How Humans Will Get Oxygen on Mars

How Humans Will Get Oxygen on Mars | Mars' atmosphere is 96% carbon dioxide, so astronauts can't breathe it. We explore In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) methods, focusing on NASA's pioneering MOXIE instrument on the Perseverance rover. MOXIE successfully converts Martian $\text{CO}_2$ into breathable oxygen ($\text{O}_2$) through solid oxide electrolysis, a crucial step for life support and for generating the vast amounts of liquid oxygen needed as rocket propellant for the return trip to Earth.
