JAXA planetary exploration program

Target entity: JAXA planetary exploration program
Context triple: [Akatsuki, program, JAXA planetary exploration program]

• A. Mariner planetary missions
  The Mariner planetary missions were a series of NASA robotic space probes launched in the 1960s and 1970s to conduct the first detailed flybys and studies of Venus, Mars, and Mercury.
• B. Tianwen planetary exploration program
  The Tianwen planetary exploration program is China’s series of deep-space missions aimed at exploring planets and other bodies in the solar system, including Mars and future targets such as asteroids and Jupiter.
• C. Hayabusa spacecraft
  The Hayabusa spacecraft was a Japanese robotic mission that became the first to return samples from an asteroid to Earth, significantly advancing planetary science and sample-return technology.
• D. Hayabusa2 spacecraft
  Hayabusa2 spacecraft is a Japanese asteroid sample-return probe that visited the near-Earth asteroid Ryugu, collected surface and subsurface material, and successfully returned samples to Earth for scientific study.
• E. Mars Exploration Program
  The Mars Exploration Program is NASA’s long-term robotic initiative to explore Mars’ climate, geology, and potential for past or present life using orbiters, landers, and rovers.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
