Original: LLNL gamma-ray spectrometer is headed to Martian moon on JAXA’s MMX Project
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has developed a gamma-ray spectrometer that will travel to Mars aboard the Japanese space agency JAXA's Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission. The instrument will analyze the composition of Phobos, helping scientists determine whether the Martian moons formed from debris of an ancient impact with Mars.
Why now: The launch or delivery announcement of a new instrument for an international Mars mission is drawing attention from space and science communities.
