The Martian Moons eXploration (MMX) mission is now under study by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Its scope includes the world's first landing on one of the Martian moons, collecting samples from the surface, and returning to Earth. This paper describes the orbit design for MMX. Nominal and backup trajectories for launch in 2024 and 2026 are discussed. The Mars orbit insertion (MOI) sequence using 3-impulse maneuvers is introduced. A new scheme, the robust MOI, is also proposed as a contingency to enhance the robustness of the mission sequence. A method to design a robust MOI trajectory and examples are presented.

Failure of the orbit insertion maneuver has a significant impact on the entire mission, for the trajectory of a spacecraft is largely deflected by swing-by. The risk can be reduced by targeting a point on the B-plane where the spacecraft reaches the free-return (FR) trajectory with the target body in the case of insertion failure. The backup orbit must also satisfy conditions suitable for the mission. We investigated the type of orbit insertion that is both robust to failure and reasonable for the mission requirements. We call this method FR ensured orbit insertion. Among various failure modes of the orbit insertion maneuver, we focus on the complete maneuver failure. The impact parameters on the B-plane to achieve the orbit insertion are formulated based on the geometry of velocity vectors at swing-by. The necessary deflection angle αFR at swing-by must be smaller than the possible maximum deflection angle αmax for the target body. When we introduce proper scaling factors, the relation of αmax and αFR is characterized by a single parameter λ. Using polar orbit insertion as an example, maps which show the reachability of FR trajectory after the insertion failure for each approaching condition are presented. The derived maps can be used as a tool to assess the applicability of the method in the mission design. Finally, as an application to practical mission design, we demonstrate the use of FR ensured orbit insertion in JAXA's MMX mission.

OMOTENASHI is a 6U CubeSat that will be launched in 2019 by the Space Launch System (SLS) with the objective of landing on the Moon. The CubeSat is planned to perform two deterministic maneuvers. The first maneuver (DV1) by gas jet propulsion system transfers the probe from the nominal SLS trajectory to a lunar targeted trajectory. The second maneuver (DV2) is applied by the solid rocket motor before landing to counteract the vertical component of the S/C velocity. The high approach speed at the Moon, combined with large errors induced by the solid motor, requires the probe to approach the Moon with a shallow Flight Path Angle (FPA). If the angle is too steep, expected errors in the DV2 may cause the probe to crash. However, a shallow FPA increases the probability of a Moon-flyby or collision with the local topography. In this paper, we present a design method for Earth-Moon transfer trajectory robust to orbit determination (OD) and DV1 execution errors. First step consists of a grid search to determine the nominal DV1 vector with four candidates obtained. Subsequent error analysis suggests the need for a Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM). For the two scenarios of OD error provided by the navigation team, an error analysis was conducted including the TCM. Two realistic OD error scenarios were considered: 30 min or 3 hours of two-way Doppler and range measurement. Error analysis conducted considering TCM shows the need for 3 hours of OD to achieve nearly 100% of transfer success rate.

The details of incompatibility between aripiprazole (ARIP) oral solution and green tea were examined. When the ARIP oral solution was mixed with a commercial PET bottled green tea beverage, the residual rate of ARIP in the mixed solution decreased to 15.7–17.6%. Mixing with ARIP reduced the content of gallate-type green tea polyphenols (GTPs) in the mixed solution but not the content of non-gallate-type GTPs. Furthermore, using pH 3.0 lactic acid buffer, 2.23 mM ARIP solution and 2.23 mM GTP solution were prepared, and the same volumes of ARIP solution and GTP solution were mixed. When the gallate-type GTP solution was mixed, the residual rate of ARIP in the mixed solution decreased. On the other hand, when the non-gallate-type GTP solution was mixed, the residual rate of ARIP in the mixed solution did not decrease. From the above results, it was found that the main reason for the incompatibility between ARIP oral solution and green tea was the formation of an insoluble substance composed of ARIP and gallate-type GTPs in green tea. Furthermore, experimental results using the continuous variation method revealed that ARIP and (−)-epigallocatechin gallate, which is the most representative gallate-type GTP, interact at a molar ratio of 3 : 2.

Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis GCL2505 (B. lactis GCL2505) is able to survive passage through the intestine and then proliferate, leading to an increase in the amount of gut bifidobacteria. In the present study, we evaluated the impact of B. lactis GCL2505 on abdominal visceral fat storage in overweight and mildly obese Japanese adults. This clinical study was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group comparative trial performed for 12 weeks. Healthy Japanese subjects (N=137) with body mass indices ranging from 23 to 30 kg/m2 consumed either fermented milk containing B. lactis GCL2505 or a placebo every day, and then visceral and subcutaneous abdominal fat areas were measured by computed tomography as the primary endpoints. The number of fecal bifidobacteria was also measured. Visceral fat area, but not subcutaneous fat area, was significantly reduced from baseline at 8 and 12 weeks in the GCL2505 group, compared with the placebo group. The total number of fecal bifidobacteria was significantly increased in the GCL2505 group. These results indicate that B. lactis GCL2505 reduces abdominal visceral fat, a key factor associated with metabolic disorders. This finding suggests that this probiotic strain can potentially serve as a specific functional food to achieve visceral fat reduction in overweight or mildly obese individuals.
