Japonia va trimite o navă spațială pe o lună a planetei Marte

Japan is set to launch a space probe aimed at collecting samples from Phobos, one of Mars' moons, in a mission expected to last five years. Scientists hope to gain insights into the formation of Phobos and Deimos, the other Martian moon, and potentially learn about the origins of life in the Solar System. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) will use an H3 rocket for the launch, which is part of an international collaboration involving NASA and other space agencies. The mission will include a flyby of Deimos and aims to collect at least 10 grams of soil from Phobos. The samples will be returned to Earth in 2031, with the probe expected to reach Mars by August 2027.
