Featured on August 21, 2023
A Japanese mission, MMX, shown in this artist's concept, is scheduled for launch in about a year. It will land on Phobos, the largest moon of Mars, and gather a few grams of material. Return to Earth is scheduled for 2029. The mission also will scan the other Martian moon, Deimos (upper right). [NASA]
