The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) [1] was a technology demonstration on the NASA Mars 2020 rover Perseverance investigating the production of oxygen on Mars. [2] On April 20, 2021, MOXIE produced oxygen from carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere by using solid oxide electrolysis .

The planned Mars 2020 mission includes Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (MOXIE), which would convert Mars carbon dioxide into oxygen. To convert the whole of Mars into a habitat, increased air could come from vaporizing materials in the planet. [83] In time lichen and moss might be established, and then eventually pine trees. [83]
