Nasa device extracts breathable oxygen from thin Martian air

Nasa device extracts breathable oxygen from thin Martian air Instrument aboard Perseverance which landed on Mars after seven-month journey about 4 hours ago Nasa s miniature robot helicopter Ingenuity has performed a successful takeoff and landing on Mars, achieving the first powered, controlled flight by an aircraft over the surface of another planet, the US space agency said.

Nasa s rover makes breathable oxygen on Mars

BBC News image captionThe Moxie unit is about the size of a toaster An instrument on Nasa s Perseverance rover on Mars has made oxygen from the planet s carbon dioxide atmosphere. It s the second successful technology demonstration on the mission, which flew a mini-helicopter on Monday. The oxygen generation was performed by a toaster-sized unit in the rover called Moxie - the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment. It made 5 grams of the gas - equivalent to what an astronaut at Mars would need to breathe for roughly 10 minutes. Nasa s thinking is that future human missions would take scaled-up versions of Moxie with them to the Red Planet rather than try to carry from Earth all the oxygen needed to sustain them.
