First Time Oxygen Extract From Mars Planet With Help Of NASA's Perseverance Rover it's Historic Movement !!!

It is a great achievement of NASA's latest mission to Red planets: coverting carbon dioxide form the mar's atmosphere into pure, breathable oxygen, said by U.S. space agency in Wednesday.
In it's first attempt, a toaster sized experimental instrument MOXIE, short listed for Mars oxygen In-Situ Resources Utilisation Experiment. Create around 5 gram's of oxygen, it is similar like to 10 minutes breathable oxygen for an astronaut.
Trudy kortes, Director of technology demonstration with NASA's Space technology mission Directorate, said the “MOXIE isn’t just the first instrument to produce oxygen on another world,”. Trudy kortes say that this technology help the mankind & future mission "live off the land" of another world.
The initial output was modest, the marked the fire experimental extraction of a natural resources from the environment of red planet for direct use by human. This statement said by the NASA's official.
Jim router, associate administrator for STMD. Say that "This is most critical & difficult step converting carbon dioxide into oxygen in Red planet," "MOXIE need more work to do, it's a 1st few step to move toward our goal of one day human beings can living on Red planets. Oxygen is Just not stuff we needed for breathe. It is also required for the Rocket propellant, and rocket propellant is needed for future explorationon Mars to make home trip."
MOXIE principal investigator,Michael Hecht of the Massachusetts Institute of technology Haystack observatory said that oxygen is Master key, for both rockets or astronauts.
How carbon dioxide convert into breathable oxygen on Mars how it work?
Negligible amount of oxygen exist on Mars, and remaining 5% is Mar's atmosphere, and some amount of nitrogen and argon atom are present in mars.
But oxygen supply is needed in critical eventual human exploration of the Mars, both as a sustainable source of necessary stuff for rockets fuel to take off them Home and breathable Air for Astronauts.
NASA official said that to return back four astronaut from Martian surface would be needed a 7 metric tons rocket fuel, with combined we need 25 metric tons of oxygen.
Transporting a one-ton oxygen conversion instrument to Mars is more beneficial than transporting to haul 25 toms of oxygen in tank from Earth to mars
Mr. Hecht said that living h working in mars would required One matric ton of oxygen to whole year.
According to concept MOXIE is designed to produce up to 10 gram's per hour, and scientist planning to run machine at least nine time over upcomming two years under critical conditions and speeds, said by NASA.
Short information about perseverance !!
The primary mission of perseverance is to find and amylase fossilised traces of ancient microbes on Mars billions of years ago, like MOXIE the twin rotor chopper ride on Mars with perseverance.
Perseverance is a car sized red planet rover develop & manufactured by jet propulsion laboratory to explore the Mars its a part of mars mission 2020. The perseverance launched in 30th july 2020 at 11:50 UTC. And fed 18 2021, at 20:55 UTC successfully landed on Mars.
We are moving toward live on another planet first step is achive by Man kind.
