火星衛星へ、探査機打ち上げ 試料回収、5年で往復―「MMX」、H3搭載・JAXA

Quick Look

JAXAは20日午前4時41分、鹿児島県・種子島宇宙センターからH3ロケット10号機で火星衛星探査機MMXを打ち上げ、約1時間11分後に予定軌道への投入に成功した。MMXは火星の衛星フォボスに着陸し砂を持ち帰ることを目指し、2029年に2回の着陸と10グラム以上の試料採取を計画。試料は2031年にオーストラリアの砂漠地帯で回収予定。

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

火星の衛星からの試料採取と火星圏への往復航行は世界初となる可能性があり、火星や衛星の形成史および地球上の生命の起源解明につながる成果が期待されている。

宇宙航空研究開発機構(JAXA)は20日午前4時41分、火星衛星探査機「MMX」を搭載したH3ロケット10号機を鹿児島県・種子島宇宙センターから打ち上げた。約1時間11分後にMMXを予定の軌道に投入し、打ち上げは成功した。

MMXは、火星の第1衛星「フォボス」に接近、着陸し砂を持ち帰る探査機。火星の衛星からの試料採取、火星圏への往復航行は成功すればいずれも世界初で、火星や衛星の形成史に加えて、地球上の生命の起源解明につながる成果が期待される。

ミッションの進展に応じて不要になった部分を切り離す三つのモジュールから成り、打ち上げ時の重さは約4.5トン。約1年後に火星周回軌道に投入され、フォボスに接近する。地表の詳細観測などによって科学的観点や安全性から着陸地点を見極めた上、2029年に2回の着陸を行い10グラム以上の試料採取を目指す。

フォボス探査の後は、第2衛星「ダイモス」の接近観測も実施。地球帰還は31年の予定で、試料カプセルを投下してオーストラリアの砂漠地帯で回収する計画だ。

Sample return, inheritance and development Mr. Tsuda of Hayabusa2 - Launch of space probe MMX

JAXA Professor Yuichi Tsuda talked about the MMX spacecraft, which inherits and develops the sample return technology of Hayabusa and Hayabusa2. The MMX, which aims to recover samples from the Mars moon Phobos, is equipped with the world's first technology, emphasizing that it will serve as the basis for interplanetary round-trip flight capabilities. With the launch scheduled for the 20th, we looked back on past difficulties and the real pleasure of exploration.

"MMX" launches on 20th aiming to collect samples from Mars satellite - world's first to explore origins and life - JAXA

In the early hours of the 20th, JAXA launched the MMX spacecraft to bring back sand from the Martian moon Phobos. If successful, it will be the first time in the world to land on a Mars satellite, collect samples, and travel to and from Mars. It is also expected to contribute to elucidating the origin of Phobos and to future manned exploration of Mars.
