== Overview == , DESTINY+ is planned to be launched from Tanegashima Space Center on an H3 launch vehicle together with another asteroid mission, the ESA's Ramses. A launch vehicle change from Epsilon S to H3 delayed the launch date from 2025 to JFY2028, although there's no change of fly-by with 3200 Phaeton in JFY2030.
