Nice. These missions that tell us the basics about objects in the Solar System are more useful than, say, re-visiting the moon or Mars.
Venus and Europa could use some attention. Anything underway?
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.
