In this talk, I will explain three theoretical studies of planet formation oriented towards planetary explorations. First, studies of the origin and evolution of Martian moons, which became today's base of MMX's mission pillars, are reported. Secondly, studies of planetesimal formation, which has changed the classical view of planet formation and would become a new scientific objective of small body exploration, are presented. Lastly, the importance of exploring Saturn and its rings, which may be JAXA's future mission, is discussed.
