Is this a Halloween ghost? 👻 Or… something more sneaky?
Time to try and scare Martian Moons @JAXA…

Animation time!
The MMX (Martian Moons @JAXA) spacecraft exploring Phobos with the (highly sophisticated, as you can clearly see) 8K camera!
This is a 7 second movie that took about a billion years to make. I… can see why large teams are a thing in animation 😅

Landing on #Phobos ? 🤔 Every space mission brings its own challenges. The Curiosity Rover rover experienced ‘7 minutes of terror’ & the DLR / CNES MASCOT lander experienced ‘7 hours of terror’. Masaki Fujimoto, ISAS(JAXA宇宙科学研究所), describes the challenges the #MMXmission will face.
During #EPSC2022 I had the incredible chance to present three contributions (supported by three fantastic teams!) and I really thank Europlanet 🇪🇺 and organizers for the opportunity! 🛰️🦠💬
