NASA created oxygen from the atmosphere of Mars, will the colony bus dream come true?

Washington, On Mars we will no longer need to carry oxygen from Earth. The US space agency NASA has succeeded in making oxygen from the atmosphere of Mars. According to NASA, scientists have started producing oxygen on Mars with the help of the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE). This oxygen will provide oxygen for the astronauts on future Mars missions from the home environment.

how to be successful
Actually, winter is at its peak on Mars. According to NASA, due to the relatively high atmospheric pressure on cold nights, Moxy sent to Mars was successful in making oxygen. MOXIE was successful in creating more oxygen than the higher air densities produced due to freezing produced more carbon dioxide. Presently this machine is producing oxygen at the rate of about 10.5 grams per hour.

Can humans survive with this oxygen?
According to scientists, a person needs oxygen at the rate of 21 grams per hour to survive. This means that twice the amount of oxygen this machine is producing is enough to keep a human alive. NASA is looking for a way to produce oxygen on Mars.

still a long way
To keep a crew of four to six astronauts alive from the surface of Mars and into orbit, NASA would have to produce 2 to 3 kilograms of oxygen per hour. Although the machine is currently working in the initial phase, but according to NASA, an advanced version of this machine can achieve this goal. Making that much oxygen would require 25 kilowatts of electricity, and MOXI is only making 100 watts of power, so NASA believes the upgraded version can achieve this goal. Currently, about 10% of the electricity generated is used to generate oxygen. The rest is used to run the compressor that collects the air.
