Study: AI Robot Finds Way to Produce Oxygen from Water on Mars
Experiments were carried out on meteorites that either came from Mars or contained materials similar to the Martian surface.

The catalyst chosen as the best fit was able to operate at minus 37 degrees Celsius. This temperature is similar to current conditions on Mars.

nearly 60 grams of oxygen per hour. The researchers say this level of production could remove the need for future astronauts to transport oxygen from Earth.
