And--after the release of an extremely dull looking government document--it's official:
JAXA's Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission to visit Mars's moons, Phobos & Deimos, and collect a sample from Phobos, is scheduled for launch in FY2026 (bumped from 2024).
The delay is due to confirming the reliability of the new H3 rocket, which rud'ed on its 1st launch at the start of the year.
NO RUDS FOR MARS.
Could be a new t-shirt.
I updated our web with fresh new dates:
