Tokyo: Japanese scientists will launch a spacecraft on Tuesday that aims to be the first to retrieve samples from one of Mars's moons, potentially helping unlock the origins of the Solar System and life on Earth.
The flagship H3 rocket carrying the unmanned Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) probe is set to blast off from the Tanegashima Space Center at 4:41 am (1941 GMT Monday), according to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
