"During the peak of its efficiency, MOXIE produced 12 grams of oxygen an hour at 98% purity or better."
And, per Bing chat, a human breathes in about 21 grams of oxygen an hour, in household conditions.
Still, even if improved, MOXIE isn't a "personal oxygen generator" due to its process needing a rather high temperature (1470 F, 798 C).

#NASA #PerseveranceMarsRover captured #IngenuityHelicopter's #popupflight on #Mars
Video taken by the rover's #MastcamZimager from a distance of approximately 180 feet, shows the helicopter performing a preflight #wigglecheck
After rotating to the left, the helicopter then touched back down
Nasa's Perseverance Mars rover has successfully captured the 54th flight of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter in thin Martian air.

Ginny, the helicopter that #NASA and #JPL have on ANOTHER PLANET, has now flown 1 hour 40 minutes in 56 flights over 864 days.
The pioneering machine was originally intended to execute five flights over 30 days, as a demo in #Marsβ thinner atmosphere.
But cooler than all of that: a bit of the Wright Flyer is up there, making flights, on Mars.

capabilities, which will be critical to communicate with #astronauts π¨βππ©βπ traveling to #Mars π΄). NASA cannot use #RadioFrequency communications to carry higher data rates like those required for Mars without increasing

#NASA to test potential 400Mbps laser link for #Mars
The Deep Space Optical Communications (#DSOC) experiment will head off into the void with #Psyche, an #asteroid-chasing probe that is scheduled to blast off on October 5. While they journey toward #16Psyche, a metal-rich asteroid, the DSOC system will spend two years attempting to communicate via laser with two ground stations in Southern California.
