Our first “MMX Conference”

The first MMX Conference was held at JAXA ISAS in November. But how did it differ from the meetings we've held in the past?

The “Martian Moons eXploration Project, MMX” organised session at the 68th Space Science and Technology Conference

Commonly known as “Ukaren”, the 68th Space Science and Technology Conference was held in November 2024, and included a two day session dedicated to news from the MMX mission!

The 2024 Sagamihara Special Open Campus Day

In November, the JAXA Sagamihara Special Open Campus Day was held, with the MMX exhibit including a 1/2 size model of the spacecraft.

The MMX sampling instrument (C-SMP and SSTM) for collecting material from Phobos joined the comprehensive spacecraft system tests

The C-SMP and SSTM MMX sampling equipment that will collect material from Phobos are now being integrated onto the spacecraft!

Build your own MMX! (With a 3D printer)

The MMX Project has published files that you can use to print your own 1:48 scale MMX spacecraft with a 3D printer!

The flight model for the MSA (Mass Spectrum Analyzer) has been completed.

Development for the Mass Spectrum Analyzer (MSA) that will measure the ions originating from Mars and Phobos is now complete, and ready for assembly onto the MMX spacecraft.
