For humans to live on a planet other than Earth, air, or oxygen, is more important than anything else. NASA, the U.S. space agency, has successfully completed a two-year experiment to artificially create oxygen in the Martian atmosphere. Reporter Yang Hui-young reports.[기자]
This is a movie regarding survival on Mars, with an astronaut stranded on Mars growing potatoes and making water himself. As in the movie, there is a small possibility that humans can live on Mars by using Mars’ resources. NASA, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, has created an atmosphere on Mars. They succeeded in creating oxygen artificially using . The oxygen generator ‘Moxxi’ aboard the Mars Exploration Rover Perseverance has created oxygen 16 times since April 2021 until recently. 96% of the Mars atmosphere is carbon dioxide, and Moxxi This method sucks in this air and decomposes it into carbon monoxide and oxygen through a solid oxide electrolysis reaction. Moxi acts as a tree on Earth.[짐 루이스 / NASA JPL 시스템엔지니어 : 화성 대기가 이 라인을 따라 SOXE 장치로 들어갑니다. 그런 다음 섭씨 800도까지 가열되고, 음극과 양극에 에너지를 주입하면 CO₂에서 산소가 분리돼 여기로 나옵니다.]Oxygen produced on Mars is used for breathing by astronauts and as spacecraft propellant. If oxygen can be obtained on Mars itself, the cost of Mars exploration can be greatly reduced because there is no need to bring it directly from Earth.[마이클 헥트 / MIT 헤이스택 천문대 선임연구원 : 화성 표면에서 우주비행사 4명을 이륙시키려면 많은 양의 산소, 대략 25톤의 산소가 필요합니다. 지구에서 그것을 가져갈 수는 있습니다만 이 방법은 장기적으로 지속 가능하지 않으며 단기적으로는 엄청나게 비쌉니다.]The total amount of oxygen produced by Moxxi over the past two years is 122g! This is the amount that a dog can breathe for 10 hours. NASA said that it produced regarding twice the amount as targeted, and that it can be used all year round, especially in the highly variable Martian weather. He explained that it was also significant in that it succeeded in producing oxygen. This is YTN Science’s Yang Hui-young.※ ‘Your report becomes news.’
