JAXA is about to perform a Phobos sample return mission

JAXA does great work, they also publish the highest resolution open access global surface elevation model. Really impressive for a country with about 1/10th the GDP of the US.

I hope they make some photos of Phobos monolith: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phobos_monolith

I wonder how this mission compares in scale to the JAXA Hayabusa comet interceptor done twenty years ago.
