🌕 Japan Launches Historic Mission to Collect Samples from a Martian Moon 🚀 Japan is preparing to launch a spacecraft on a five-year mission to Phobos, one of Mars’ moons. After traveling hundreds of millions of kilometers, the probe will reach the Red Planet’s vicinity to investigate the origins of its two moons and assess conditions for potential future bases. 🤖 As part of the mission, a French-German rover will explore Phobos’ surface. The main spacecraft will then collect at least 10 grams of material from the moon’s surface and subsurface layers. 🌍 If successful, the collected samples will be returned to Earth inside a capsule by 2031, offering scientists a rare opportunity to study material from a Martian moon directly. 📢 @scihubAI
