Japanese sample-return mission to Phobos
Martian Moons eXploration
Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) is a robotic space probe operated by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) that launched in 2026, with a primary mission to bring back the first samples from Mars's larger moon Phobos. MMX will deploy a rover to the surface of Phobos, land and collect samples from the surface, and will also conduct Deimos flyby observations and monitor the atmosphere of Mars. The mission aims to provide key information to help determine whether the Martian moons are captured asteroids or the result of a larger body hitting Mars, in addition to several other scientific goals.
