Harnessing the Sun to Extract Oxygen on the Moon - NASA
The Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration (CaRD) project aims to demonstrate the carbothermal reduction of lunar regolith to produce oxygen on the Lunar South Pole. For this test, the team integrated the solar concentrator, mirrors, and software and confirmed the production of carbon monoxide.
Magnetic technology could simplify oxygen production for space missions
How could the use of magnetic forces in oxygen production systems impact the sustainability of long-term space missions, particularly to the Moon or Mars? What challenges might arise when scaling this new method for future use?

Study revealing seabed minerals produce oxygen casts cloud over critical deep-sea mining negotiations
The discovery that polymetallic nodules generate "dark" oxygen has frustrated mining companies and given hope to environmentalists pushing for deep-sea mining moratorium, until more is known about its impacts.
