Before looking at JAXA's Jupiter mission I thought Martian moons sample return mission may be of interest to some people. I will translate
ISAS dcument on this mission and here are the first two pages (no page number on this document and page numbers are mine). The document is question can be found here. http://www.isas.jaxa.jp/topics/files/MMX170412.pdf and the first two pages are as follows. Page 1 Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) Outline of Martian moons sample return mission (JAXA/ISAS) Collaboration agreenment and signing ceremony with French CNES on 10 April(Mon) 2017 at JAXA Tokyo office Page 2 Sample return mission and its space science and exploration schedule This sample return mission has been, within the current space science/exploration timetable, designated as leading to "Strategic medimum scale project 1" and its launch is scheduled for fiscal 2024.

Setting engineering objectives Proposal for engineering objctives and targtes (MDRI 25 August 2015) Large objective: Obtain navigation and exploration capability for future deep space explorations Middle objective 1.1: Obtain capability for a round trip to Martian sphere of influence Target 1.1.1: Arrive in vicinity of Martian moons and stay there for longer than 3 months (T.B.D.) Target 1.1.2: Escape from Martian sphere of influence and arrive back into Earth sphere of influence and return the payload to the ground Middle objective 1.2 : Acquire sampling technologies on astronomical body surface Target 1.2.1: Touch down on the sampling points on Martian moon surface Target 1.2.2: Obtain samples from area of touch down Target 1.2.3: Activate sampling mechanism on the surface and confirm its working Middle objective 1.3: Acquire communication technologies optimum for the combination of spacecraft and the newly built deep space station Target 1.3.1: Acquire communication capability superor to that based on Hayabusa 2 comm.s capability Target 1.3.2: Realise communication capability, for Martian activities, equivalent to overseas stations Middle objective: Provide oppotunities for engineering expperiments required for future deep space explorations Target 1.4.1: Support, within resources limit, put on board all devices offered for engineering experiments and help with their operation In the event of failure in achieving science goals make sure mission can be continued for engineering purposes (this is more or less the end of this particular document, P) |
