JAXA launches HTV-X spacecraft to ISS for the first time
Last week, Japan successfully launched its new cargo spacecraft, the HTV-X, to the ISS. The HTV-X is the successor to the HTV spacecraft previously used by JAXA. It now features numerous upgrades, including a smaller size with the same capacity, and can operate independently in space for over a year after separating from the ISS.
