The NASA Educator Professional Development Collaborative at
Texas State University is providing a 1-hour webinar.

Given the orbits of Earth and Mars, Artemis crews will most likely be spending some time on the Martian surface before returning home. To minimize what crews would need to bring with them, astronauts will utilize resources available at their destination. In this webinar, we'll explore the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE), a proof-of-concept demonstration that converts carbon dioxide in Mars' atmosphere to oxygen. Relevant instructional resources will also be included.
