Some very exciting details there, including the HD camera to take photos and video for outreach, which will doubtless be spectacular!

The landing process has so many unknowns, it's good that the rover will be dropped first (though it badly needs a name...) I wonder how far it can get in its 3 month nominal mission?

Due to the H3 rocket issues, launch is delayed to 2026. Sample return in 2031.

The H3 rocket made its successful debut yesterday, but I suppose they're still not pushing MMX forward to this year?
