After a long wait, the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) finally announced the first image of the new generation Mars self-propelled robot.

As planned, this self-propelled robot will be put on Red planet by 2020, following the mission of Curiosity robot (Curious).

It will be equipped with more advanced technologies than Curiosity to look for signs of past microbial living conditions on Mars, clues to life that once existed on Mars and many other studies. .

"In 2020, the self-propelled robot named Moxie will go to Mars. It will take the Martian atmosphere into oxygen to serve humans after they get there, or fuel the astronauts back to Earth. " NASA scientist Dennis Andrucyk said.

The Mars atmosphere has 96% of carbon dioxide, and successfully converting Mars to oxygen is important for humans to survive on it in the future.

To cut costs and minimize risks, NASA plans to bring Moxie to Mars sometime between July and August 2020, when Earth and Mars approach each other.

Moxie is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program , a long-term program that explores the Red Planet through robots.

It will provide unprecedented data to determine the feasibility of manned missions to Mars in the future, including identifying resources such as underground water, improved landing techniques, describe weather, dust and other potential environmental conditions that can greatly affect the life of astronauts living and working on Mars .
