- According to JAXA, the H3 rocket is scheduled to launch from Tanegashima Space Center at 4:41 a.m. October 20.
- MMX is expected to reach Mars in August 2027, orbit Phobos, land and collect at least 10 grams during three years of operations.
- The IDEFIX rover will inspect the surface before landing; Deimos will be observed, but no landing is planned there.
- JAXA is also assessing Phobos as a possible natural space station for future crewed Mars missions.
If Phobos and Deimos are indeed remnants of these early delivery systems, they may hold clues to the origins of life itself, or, to be more correct, to the transport of the materials that were key to the emergence of life on rocky planets,— Patrick Michel, a French astrophysicist working on IDEFIX, told AFP.
Tesla's new Roadster will be a tiny part of its business, but its launch sent the stock surging. Here's why.

- Starship’s 14th test flight completed full orbital insertion for the first time and placed commercial-grade Starlink V3 satellites in orbit.
- One upper-stage Raptor shut down early; a 19-second restart subsequently placed Starship in orbit about 171 miles above Earth.
- SpaceX reported contact with all 26 satellites; each weighs about two metric tons and can add one terabit per second of capacity.
- After deployment, SpaceX shortened the mission because of the engine issue; Starship splashed down near Hawaii and later broke apart.
Out of an abundance of caution given the engine issue experienced during ascent, the flight control team decided to limit the duration spent on orbit and proceeded with de-orbiting Starship to a splashdown location in the northern Pacific Ocean.— SpaceX said in a statement that due to the engine issue during ascent, the flight control team limited time on orbit and de-orbited Starship to a splashdown location in the northern Pacific Ocean.
