@dsfpspacefl1ght @Aero_actor The only document I found of any substance (i.e. beyond a sentence of acknowledgement) was this one: https://t.co/BoojhIw2vD

DISCLAIMER: I am not part of the analysis team (seriously. what. is. a. microscope?) and have NO SECRET INSIGHTS. This thread is from the press release and paper (open source: https://t.co/PbPAOjeNbO). Quote me as a JAXA source and I will hunt you down & feed you to bears (2/10) https://t.co/BtG9klUHVN

What I can’t immediately spot on the Okayama press release is a link to the actual paper. It’s here and open access: https://t.co/YQ0LoW2Prn

@innopal @haya2kun For predictions, I think you’ll need to dip back before the mission began (as summaries were published during the planning stage), for example: https://t.co/CFWhnXi2Ty Recent research papers from in-situ observations also often mention the value of follow-up with the sample.

The 2019 edition of the Annual Report is now available, giving an overview of the missions and activities from JAXA’s Institute of Space & Astronautical Science! This includes a feature for MMX, noting how ejecta from Mars may be part of our Phobos sample. https://t.co/GTWLlh2GAw
