Japan-led MMX mission to return Phobos sample, launch set for 2027

The Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission, led by JAXA, is scheduled to launch from Japan and arrive at Phobos in August 2027, aiming to collect and return samples from the Martian moon. This is a significant step in planetary science, as it could provide insights into the origin of Mars' moons and the early solar system. The mission's success is uncertain until launch and sample collection are confirmed.
