MOXIE – The Oxygen Generator on Mars

Piyush Khopkar
Software Engineer, NASA Solar System Ambassador

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 CO2 into O2. 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.  Join us as Piyush Khopkar provides us with insight into this fascinating project.

Free and open to the public.  We encourage in-person attendance to better connect with fellow club members.
