MOXIE is a technology demonstration that addresses the Mars 2020 (Perseverance) objective of preparing for future human exploration by demonstrating In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) in the form of dissociating atmospheric CO 2 into O 2 . The primary goals of the MOXIE project are to verify and validate the technology of Mars ISRU as a springboard for the future, and to establish achievable performance requirements and design approaches that will lead to a full-scale ISRU system based on MOXIE technology. MOXIE has three top-level requirements: to be capable of producing at least 6 g/hr of oxygen in the context of the Mars 2020 mission (assuming atmospheric intake at 5 Torr, typical of Jezero Crater, and 0 ∘ C $0~^{\circ}\text{C}$ , typical of the rover interior); to produce oxygen with > 98 % $>98\%$ purity; and to meet these first two requirements for at least 10 operational cycles after delivery. Since MOXIE is expected to operate in all seasons and at all times of day and night on Mars, these requirements are intended to be satisfied under worst-case environmental conditions, including during a dust storm, if possible.

火星氧气 ISRU 实验（MOXIE）

MOXIE 是一项技术演示，通过演示将大气 CO 2 分解为 O 2 的原位资源利用 (ISRU)，实现了火星 2020（毅力）为未来人类探索做准备的目标。MOXIE 项目的主要目标是验证和验证作为未来跳板的火星 ISRU 技术，并建立可实现的性能要求和设计方法，从而导致基于 MOXIE 技术的全尺寸 ISRU 系统。MOXIE 有三个顶级要求：在火星 2020 任务的背景下能够产生至少 6 克/小时的氧气（假设大气摄入量为 5 Torr，典型的 Jezero Crater，以及 0 ∘ C $0~^{ \circ}\text{C}$ ，典型的漫游车内部）；生产纯度 > 98 % $>98\%$ 的氧气；并在交付后至少 10 个操作周期内满足前两项要求。由于预计 MOXIE 将在火星上的所有季节和白天和黑夜的所有时间运行，因此这些要求旨在在最坏的环境条件下满足，如果可能，包括沙尘暴期间。
