For a country that invented the HD camera, they still don't have any tracking cameras with good views and no cameras on board for views of the separation.

The flight to the ISS includes 3 days of experiments to be performed before arrival.

I have gone back to the lunch post and updated (backfilled) that and other posts with video clips.

A picture of NTV Mission Control.

That's the end of my coverage. I'll be posting any relevant events from "X".

Thanks, and have a great day.

It was a great launch. The 4 booster H3 gets off the pad fast!

Solar paddles deployed way early so NASA ending coverage

catdlr · « **Reply #69 on:** 10/26/2025 12:23 am »

Last-minute post: Solar Arrias are all deployed and paddling along

NASA ends coverage. (appears they don't have enough funds to display the NASA meatball at the end).

Great question. It's a new cargo carrier, and I've looked at many posts but didn't see any specific references other than being a "fruit delivery ship." I sent a request to JAXA. I'll post if they respond.

btw was a specific Cygnus/ATV followed in initial HTV era?

The first generation of HTV's were called Kounotori 1 thru 9.
So maybe Kounotori X1 or Kounotori 10 ?

That's what I suspect as well as hinted at in this post, and just wanted to confirm.

Nice to meet you!
I'm the new space station resupply vehicle, HTV-X!🛰️
Following in the footsteps of the great predecessor "Kounotori," I've been tasked with delivering important cargo to the International Space Station!
I'm a bit nervous for my first mission, but I'll trust in my companions and do my very best!💪
I'd be thrilled if you could cheer me on for the journey that starts from here!😊
