Science Channel@thesciencechannelThe first round trip to the Mars system has launched.
Japan’s MMX probe lifted off on 19 October. It will reach Mars in August 2027, land twice on the moon Phobos, drop off a small rover, scoop up about 10 grams of rock and bring it back to Earth in 2031. The samples could reveal where Mars’ moons came from.
