With the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission, researchers hope to find an answer. Phobos completes one orbit of Mars in just over seven and a half hours at an altitude of approximately 6000 ...
In 2026, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency plans to launch the Mars Moons eXploration (MMX) mission, aiming to explore ...
Mars is probably smaller than you think. It's just half the size of Earth, with barely a third of its mass. Even the Martian ...
In 2026 the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) are launching the Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) spacecraft, which ...
How did the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, form and evolve orbiting the Red Planet? This is what a recent study published ...
The problem with this idea is that Mars is a small planet with less gravitational pull than Earth or Venus, which have no ...
A new study into the origins of the two Martian moons tends to blends the two most popular explanations, supercomputers had a ...
Kegerreis and his team propose that an asteroid may have been captured by Mars' gravity but was then torn apart, creating a ...
To uncover the truth about the origins of these moons, scientists are looking forward to the Mars Moons eXploration (MMX) ...
The DLR Institute of System Dynamics and Control is carrying out complex simulations to analyse how the MMX rover will behave on Phobos under reduced gravity conditions. The simulation shown in the ...
The mission, expected to launch in 2026, will closely observe both moons before landing on Phobos, retrieving a sample from that moon and returning it to Earth. Meanwhile, the Perseverance rover ...
the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Martian Moons eXploration mission plans to return a sample from the Mars system to Earth. It will follow Phobos as it orbits Mars, deploying a rover to ...
