Japanese Cargo Craft Departs from Station

The H-II Transfer Vehicle-8 (HTV-8) from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is pictured in the grip of the Canadarm2 robotic before it was attached to the International Space Station's Harmony module.

After delivering more than four tons of supplies and experiments to the International Space Station, an unpiloted Japanese cargo spacecraft is scheduled to depart the station today. Live coverage of the departure will begin at 1 p.m. EDT on NASA Television and the agency's website.

Earlier today, ground controllers used the space station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to detach the unpiloted H-II Transfer Vehicle-8 (HTV-8) of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) from an Earth-facing port of the station's Harmony module, then moved the spacecraft into its release position. Expedition 61 Flight Engineers Christina Koch and Jessica Meir of NASA will use the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to release the HTV at 1:20 p.m.[

Named "Kounotori," or "white stork" in Japanese, the unpiloted cargo spacecraft delivered six new lithium-ion batteries to replace aging nickel-hydrogen batteries used in two power channels on the space station's port truss. HTV-8 also delivered scientific experiments, including an upgrade to the Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF-L), a small-sized satellite optical communication system (SOLISS), and a payload for testing the effects of gravity on powder and granular material (Hourglass).

HTV-8 launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan Sept. 24, and the spacecraft was installed at the station Sept. 28.

Astronauts Release Japanese Spaceship

The Kounotori H-II Transfer Vehicle 8 (HTV-8) from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency is pictured moments after it was released from the grips of the Canadarm2 robotic arm.

Expedition 61 Flight Engineers Christina Koch with back-up support from NASA astronaut Jessica Meir, used the International Space Station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to release a Japanese cargo spacecraft at 1:21 p.m. EDT. At the time of release, the space station was flying about 260 miles over the Pacific ocean just off the coast of California. Earlier, ground controllers used the robotic arm to unberth the cargo craft.

HTV-8 will be a safe distance away from the space station after the last of several deorbit maneuvers. The spacecraft is scheduled to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up harmlessly over the South Pacific Ocean.
