A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step clor. The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilisation Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars rich in carbon dioxide, as part of NASA’s Perverance rover mission, which began in February last year.
Rearch published in the journal-Science-Advances reported that Moxie produced breathable oxygen in ven hour-long tests conducted
in various weather and atmospheric conditions since landing last year. The rearch found that during each test and even in extreme temperatures or after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen.
The device us pumps that suck in carbon dioxide. The gas is heated to 800℃ and parates the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide
is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind. “This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of Mars and transforming them chemically into something that would be uful for a human mission,” Jeffrey Hoffman said. Hoffman, a
retired astronaut and a professor at MIT aeronautics department, also noted that the results were “groundbreaking and historic.”
NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie. They hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to
support a crewed mission to Mars and generate the gas needed to nd
a rocket back to Earth. “To support a human mission to Mars we have
to bring a lot of stuff from Earth.” Hoffman said. “But dumb old oxygen? If you can make it there, go for it. You’re way ahead of the game.”
托福考试准备时间>商店的英文The thin atmosphere on Mars is 96 percent carbon dioxide and much more mutable than on Earth. Hoffman said, “One ob jective now is to show we can run Moxie in all asons.”

to Hoffman?
A．Negative. B．Positive.
C．Indifferent. D．Unclear.
14. What is the purpo of building a bigger Moxie?
A．To make Moxie more advanced. B．To take a lead in this field. C．To guarantee the need of oxygen. D．To avoid bringing much stuff.
