Morten Bo Madsen leads the Mars group at the Niels Bohr Institute that is working on the technology for the Mars 2020 mission.  “We are building a little instrument that will produce oxygen on Mars,” he told Videnskab.dk. “It will act as a prototype for a much bigger plant that will provide astronauts with oxygen in the future.” The project is known as MOXIE (Mars oxygen in situ resource utilisation experiment) and will use as its starting point the plentiful CO2 in the Martian atmosphere. “MOXIE works as a kind of reverse fuel cell,” Madsen explained.
