New information  8)

HTV3 carry two reentry data recorder.
One is REBR and the other one is i-Ball which developed IHI Aerospace. i-Ball has a still camera :)

From the HTV3, main engine and RCS thruster are replaced Japanese engine.

It's not new, but I forgot the introduction. HTV3 carry the Aquatic Habitat (AQH).

This is Japanese chart, but you can see the data collection altitude is different from REBR and i-Ball.
