NASA Perseverance Rover Extracts 10 Mins Of Breathable Air On Mars

Following a successful helicopter flight, NASA's perseverance rover carrying Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) has extracted 10 minutes of breathable air on Mars i.e., five grams of oxygen. MOXIE extracted oxygen atoms from CO2 molecules and its capacity is 10 grams of oxygen per hour. NASA's Space Technology Mission Directorate’s associate administrator Jim Reuter vowed to create rocket propellant and breathable air using similar technology.
