Japan’s H3 rocket launched the MMX probe on Tuesday, starting a three-year mission to collect samples from Phobos and study the origins of the Solar System.
Japanese scientists launched a spacecraft Tuesday that aims to be the first to retrieve samples from one of Mars’s moons, potentially helping unlock the origins of the Solar System and life on Earth.
ADVERTISEMENTADVERTISEMENTThe flagship H3 rocket carrying the unmanned Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) probe blasted off from the Tanegashima Space Center at 4:41 am (1941 GMT Monday), according to a live stream broadcast by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
Following the separation, JAXA said it received signals from the spacecraft as expected, confirming it was operating normally.
