The NASA Perseverance rover has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by successfully producing oxygen for the first time on Mars. NASA announced that the MOXIE (Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment) device within the rover generated oxygen on the Martian surface. This achievement resulted in the production of 122 grams of oxygen, which is sufficient to sustain a small dog for approximately 10 hours. Mars has an atmosphere that consists primarily of 96% carbon dioxide, which is not suitable for human respiration. MOXIE, located within the Perseverance rover, possesses the capability to extract oxygen atoms from the thin Martian atmosphere and can produce 128 grams of oxygen per hour. NASA views this historic test as confirmation that producing oxygen for future settlements on Mars or the Moon is feasible in the near future. This technology opens the possibility of creating oxygen reserves on other celestial bodies and even using it for launching rockets from these planets....
