Table 1. Seven oxygen-producing cycles successfully completed by MOXIE in 2021.
Sols are martian days, counted from Perseverance landing on 18 February 2021 (sol 0). “FM” refers to the flight model of MOXIE, on Mars, to distinguish from Earth-based engineering model (EM), on which all runs are verified before being executed on the FM.
