An important and fun day at OxEon Energy celebrating the 30 year anniversary of the beginning of collaboration between our two founders, S. "Elango" Elangovan and Joseph Hartvigsen. OxEon may be turning 4 soon, but this development effort has been long underway. A "trid," if you will...
The growing list of “firsts” for Perseverance, NASA’s newest six-wheeled robot on the Martian surface, includes converting some of the Red Planet’s thin, carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere into oxygen. A toaster-size, experimental instrument aboard Perseverance called the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) accomplished the task.
For the first time in human history, oxygen has been extracted on another planet. Utah’s OxEon Energy created the device that makes the process work. A mini-factory that converts carbon dioxide on Mars into oxygen. They call it Soxe.
The MOXIE System aboard NASA’s Perseverance Rover produced Oxygen on Mars in a first of its kind demonstration using the Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOXE) Device designed and manufactured by the OxEon team.
