PNEUMATIC SAMPLER (P-SAMPLER) FOR THE MARTIAN MOONS EXPLORATION (MMX)
Abstract
The Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission, led by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), will focus on the exploration of the two Martian moons – Phobos and Deimos . The spacecraft will perform close-up remote sensing and observations of both moons, and collect a sample from Phobos for Earth sample return. MMX has set the two mission goals: (1) determining the origin of the Martian moons and (2) observing processes in the circumplanetary environment of Mars, based on remote sensing, in-situ observations, and laboratory analyses of returned Phobos regolith.
