Nasa is planning to land astronauts on Mars planet by the 2030s for colonizing mars. Some of the biggest challenges are making Mars habitable for the Martians and getting them home. Both of these challenges on the red planet require oxygen. They have created an experimental device called MOXIE.
Moxie is a part of the perseverance rover which was launched on July 30th, 2020 as a part of the NASA Mars mission 2020. Nasa Moxie device works like a tree, it pulls in the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere then uses an electrochemical process to separate two oxygen atoms from each molecule of carbon dioxide. This New method to generate oxygen on Mars will help astronauts on mars missions. Nasa has already sent curiosity rover and Opportunity rover on the Mars missions but this perseverance rover with moxie is crucial for sending a human mission to Mars.
Recently, scientists at the Washington University in St. Louis have proposed a new way to make oxygen on Mars which uses a completely different resource --- salty water in the lakes beneath the Martian surface.
Nasa is also planning to send a Spot Dog robot to Mars
