Japan Goes to Mars Moon
Japan sends a spacecraft. It goes to a moon of Mars. The spacecraft will take some soil. It will bring the soil back to Earth in 2031. No spacecraft did this before.
Mars has two small moons. Scientists do not know where they came from. The soil can help them find the answer. No one has landed on these moons before.
The spacecraft will get to Mars in 2027. A small robot car goes first. Then the spacecraft will land and take soil. The soil will come back in a box. The box will land in Australia.
