Japan's HTV-9 cargo craft moments after liftoff from the at the Tanegashima Space Center

Carrying four tons of supplies, water, spare parts and experiment hardware for the Expedition 63 rew aboard the International Space Station, HTV-9 launched from Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan on Wednesday, May 20 at 1:31 p.m. EDT (2:31 a.m. Thursday, May 21, Japan time).

The cargo vehicle will arrive at the station Monday, May 25. Live coverage of rendezvous and grapple will begin at 6:45 a.m. and capture of HTV-9 is scheduled to occur around 8:15 a.m. and coverage of HTV-9's final installation will begin at 9:30 a.m.

HTV-9 will approach the station from below and slowly make its way toward the orbital outpost. Expedition 63 Commander Chris Cassidy of NASA, with assistance from Russian Flight Engineer Ivan Vagner of Roscosmos, will operate the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm from the station's cupola and grapple the 12-ton spacecraft.

The cargo includes six new lithium-ion batteries needed to complete an overall upd ate of the station's electrical system. The batteries and corresponding adapter plates will replace aging nickel-hydrogen batteries for two power channels on the station's far starboard truss segment (S6) through a series of spacewalks by the station's crew members planned for later this year. This is the final se t of new batteries to be launched to the station as part of an overall upgrade of its power system that began in January 2017. Learn more about the science experiments and technology heading to station here.

At the time of launch, the International Space Station will be flying about 256 statute miles over the Atlantic Ocean just off the southern coast of Brazil.

HTV-9 доставит на МКС первый образец космического Аватара.
Из пресс релиза (по ссылкам в нем) больше похоже на камеру с дистанционным управлением которой можно рассматривать космос из иллюминатора Кибо и внутри Кибо. p.s. ихмо больше предназначено для изучения связи и управления объектом на МКС для последующих более сложных роботов.

World's first publically accessible "space avatar" set to launch for the International Space Station

May 20, 2020 (JST)

ANA HOLDINGS INC.

「space avatar」experience　© avatarin/ Clouds Architecture Office

 Tokyo, Japan – ANA HOLDINGS INC. (hereafter "ANAHD"), avatarin Inc. of the ANA Group (hereafter "avatarin"), and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (hereafter "JAXA") have announced a new project on the International Space Station(ISS) to release the world's first space avatar¹ experience. 
 This project is a direct output of the "AVATAR X" program² which was launched by ANAHD and JAXA in September of 2018 under the JAXA Space Innovation through Partnership and Co-creation initiative ("J-SPARC³").
 avatarin will deploy the space avatar inside the Japanese experiment module "Kibo" on the ISS which is orbiting the globe at an altitude of 400km and speed of 8km per second. In a world's first, the general public will be able to remotely operate this onboard system and view its real-time video stream from a public, non-JAXA facility in Tokyo.

 With the cooperation of JAXA, using the Kibo's paid utilization program⁴, the space avatar will launch to the ISS aboard the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV9) "KOUNOTORI9" in May 2019 and be installed near a window on the Kibo module. Individuals operating the system from the ground will have the unique experience of viewing the Earth from aboard the ISS.
 Operation of the space avatar system will be made available at an event to be announced and held later this year in Tokyo. Detailed information and updates regarding this event will be made available on avatarin's website (https://avatarin.com/).
 JAXA will provide launch logistics, safety evaluations, and on-station support for this program. This is one of many programs aimed at making the Kibo module available for more commercial applications in the future. JAXA believes that robotic avatar technology will enable more space-based businesses and will continue to collaborate with avatarin, under the J-SPARC initiative, to make this a reality.

1. Avatar
A real-world robot controlled by a human that will enable the operator to see, hear, feel and interact freely in a remote environment in real-time. The intentions of the operator are transmitted to the remote Avatar and resulting sensations such as sight, sound and touch detected by the system are fed back to the operator.

2. AVATAR X program
AVATAR X is a program jointly launched in September 2018 by ANAHD and JAXA, in cooperation with 30 public and private partner organizations. The objective of the program is to explore the use of robotic avatar technology to catalyze new space-based businesses that will provide key services and an unprecedented new-level of human access to space.

3. J-SPARC
The JAXA Space Innovation through Partnerships and Co-creation initiative (J-SPARC) is aimed at catalyzing new space-based businesses through open partnerships between JAXA and the private sector.

4. Kibo's paid utilization program
The Kibo's paid utilization program of JAXA was established mainly to enable private companies in Japan to use Kibo for their initiatives for the purpose of scientific research and technological development in exchange for exclusive rights to use the result of theses initiatives.

В Японии сообщили, что запуск корабля "Конотори" прошел успешно
Стыковка с МКС намечена на 25 мая


ТОКИО, 21 мая. /ТАСС/. Запуск японского беспилотного космического корабля "Конотори-9" ("Аист-9") прошел успешно, его стыковка с Международной космической станцией (МКС) должна состояться 25 мая. Об этом сообщило в четверг Японское агентство аэрокосмических исследований.

Нынешний старт проходил в условиях, когда многие сотрудники агентства были переведены на удаленную работу из-за пандемии, и коммуникация между ними в процессе запуска осуществлялась в режиме видеоконференции. Перед запуском стартовая площадка была подсвечена синим цветом в знак поддержки медицинских специалистов, которые борются с инфекцией.


Аппарат отделился от ракеты-носителя на высоте 280 км и продолжил движение по заданной траектории. К МКС корабль приблизится 25 мая вечером по японскому времени, после чего его захватит роботизированный манипулятор для последующей стыковки. Обычно весь процесс занимает несколько часов. "Конотори-9" доставит на МКС около 6 тонн продуктов, оборудования и других полезных грузов, необходимых экипажу станции.

Первый запуск корабля "Конотори" был осуществлен в 2009 году. Аппарат имеет длину 10 м и диаметр 4,4 м. После доставки грузов на МКС грузовик забирает оттуда мусор, а на обратном пути к Земле сгорает в атмосфере. С 2011 года, когда прекратилась американская программа Space Shuttle, "Конотори" стал главным космическим кораблем, способным перевозить крупное оборудование.

Это последний запуск нынешней версии "Конотори". С 2021 года Япония будет использовать модернизированную версию грузовика с большей вместимостью.

The International Space Station will welcome a pair of different spaceships next week. Japan's space freighter will arrive first on Monday ...

The H-II Transfer Vehicle-9 (HTV-9) is in space racing toward the orbiting lab following its launch from Japan on Wednesday. The HTV-9, nicknamed Kounotori, or "white stork", will arrive at the station Monday packed with over four tons of crew supplies, space experiments and new lithium-ion batteries to upgrade station power systems.

Commander Chris Cassidy will be on deck Monday in the cupola to command the Canadarm2 robotic arm to capture the Kounotori at 8:15 a.m. EDT. Roscosmos Flight Engineer Ivan Vagner will back up Cassidy and monitor the approach and rendezvous of the HTV-9. The duo has been training for a couple of weeks on a computer to get ready for Kounotori's arrival. NASA TV's live coverage of the robotic capture and installation will begin at 6:45 a.m. Monday.
