NASA Technologies Spin off to Fight Climate Change – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet

NASA Technologies Spin off to Fight Climate Change By Mike DiCicco, NASA’s Spinoff Publication An orbital sunrise is pictured from the International Space Station (ISS) as it orbited 260 miles (418 kilometers) above the Pacific Ocean, about 500 miles (805 kilometers) southwest of Mexico. As Earth s climate changes, the ISS watches from above, helping to provide unique insights to keep our planet safe.

That shouldn’t be a surprise, since the agency’s missions include studying Earth and improving aircraft efficiency.

A toaster-size, experimental instrument aboard Perseverance called the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) accomplished the task. The test took place April 20, the 60th Martian day, or sol, since the mission landed Feb. 18. While the technology demonstration is just getting started, it could pave the way for science fiction to become science fact isolating and storing oxygen on Mars to help power rockets that could lift astronauts off the planets surface. Such devices also might one day provide breathable air for astronauts the
