> **Visual Context:** An infographic detailing JAXA's planned MMX (Martian Moons Exploration) mission, illustrating the trajectory of an H3-24L rocket to Mars on a 1-year trip to observe Phobos and Deimos for 3 years before deploying the IDEFIX Rover (100-day lifespan) and collecting Phobos samples to return to Earth on a 1-year return trip. The graphic highlights the international collaboration between NASA, ESA, DLR, and CNES alongside logos for MMX, IDEFIX, and the H3 rocket, aligning with the post's excitement for upcoming Mars exploration and rovers.
