Japan launches mission to Mars to bring back samples from its moon

What the coverage shows

All five outlets foreground Japan’s launch of a probe to Phobos and the sampling goal, with AP, Reuters, and BBC all explicitly calling it a first or world’s first mission. Wired is the only outlet to emphasize the international character of the mission and the possibility of new clues about solar system history, while Bloomberg Technology is alone in framing the launch as a head start over China in a broader race.
