- The Japan-led MMX mission has launched and could become the first to return a sample from Mars or its moons.
- After its scheduled arrival in August 2027, MMX will study Deimos before deploying a rover on Phobos.
- On Phobos, a robotic arm and two samplers will collect 10 grams of dust; the capsule is due in South Australia in 2031.
- Sample analysis could determine whether the moons formed from Martian material or are captured asteroids.
There hasn't yet been a successful mission to go to Phobos and bring a bit back to Earth.— Prof. Sara Russell, MMX mission deputy for sample analysis, Natural History Museum
