“Two specific examples are MOXIE and Ingenuity,” she says.
“MOXIE is an instrument that makes oxygen out of the Martian atmosphere.
This is critical for eventual human missions to Mars.
Ingenuity is a helicopter, the first ever to fly outside of Earth.
The demonstration of the helicopter on Mars opens up an entirely new way of exploring planets that could enable a whole new suite of scientific missions,” adds Swati.
