In Russia, it is planned to launch the Russian interplanetary Boomerang station, which can provide ground from Mars’ moon Phobos. This has been reported TASS.
Boomerang – after 2030. The first phase of the Expedition-M project, which aims to explore Mars and its moons Phobos and Deimos from afar and by contact methods.
It is stated that the main tasks of the mission are to land on corpses in the absence of gravity and to deliver Phobos material samples to Earth.
Previously reportedGermany, France, and Japan have agreed to send a miniature research vehicle to Phobos. Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) is a mission developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the French National Center for Space Research (CNES). The core element of this mission is the Phobos navigator.
At the Paris Air Show held in Le Bourget, France, between 18-25 June, a tripartite agreement was signed, providing inter-institutional cooperation within the framework of the MMX mission. Under the deal, DLR and CNES will provide the Phobos rover vehicle (officially named IDEFIX at the time of the event), including its tools and systems. The rover is currently in the final stages of development at the CNES lab in Toulouse and is scheduled to be completed by summer 2023.
