Idefix (rover)
Martian moons lander
Summary
Idefix is a rover developed by the French space agency CNES and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in cooperation with the Japanese space agency JAXA for the planned Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission to Phobos, a moon of Mars. The rover is designed to land on Phobos and explore its surface before the MMX spacecraft lands on the moon and collects samples for return to Earth. MMX is scheduled to launch in 2026.
