Japanese scientists launched an unmanned spacecraft on Tuesday as part of a pioneering mission to collect samples from one of Mars’ moons, a step that could help uncover the origins of the solar system and life on Earth.
The H3 rocket, carrying the Mars Moons eXploration (MMX) unmanned probe, lifted off from the Tanegashima Space Center at 4:41 a.m. (19:41 GMT on Monday), according to a live broadcast by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
