Japanese Cargo Ship Departs Space Station. Next Stop: Oblivion.


A robotic Japanese cargo ship left the International Space Station on Wednesday (November 7) for a weekend appointment with the oblivion of concluding a successful refueling mission to the orbital laboratory.



	

	Astronauts in the station released the supply ship HTV-7 from the station using a robotic arm at 11:51 a.m. EST (1651 GMT), since both spacecraft sailed 254 miles over the North Pacific Ocean. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) He threw the cargo ship to the station. in late September to deliver more than 5 tons (4.5 metric tons) of fresh food, scientific equipment and other supplies. 

		"The Expedition 57 team would like to thank the entire JAXA program and the engineering teams for the impeccable design and execution of the HTV-7 refueling mission," said station commander Alexander Gerst of the Space Agency. European Union, and communicated to the Control of the Mission the successful dispatch. The cargo ship, he added, is a vital part of a truly international effort to support the world's only outpost in space. Gerst used the robotic arm to release HTV-7 with the support of NASA astronaut, Serena Auñón-Chancellor.

		JAXA's HTV cargo ships (short for H-2 transfer vehicles) are disposable spacecraft designed to carry tons of supplies to the space station, and then depart and burn intentionally in the Earth's atmosphere at the end of the mission . The spacecraft, also known as Kounotori ("white stork" in Japanese) is part of a fleet of robotic cargo ships from Japan, Russia, Europe and the United States that have maintained the station with supplies for the past 18 years.

		HTV-7 delivered some critical supplies for the crew of the International Space Station, including six new batteries for the solar energy network of the orbit laboratory. He also took two small cubosats for a space elevator experiment (that were deployed on October 6.) and a small re-entry capsule that, for the first time in Japan, will try to return the experiments to Earth. If all goes well, the capsule will be deployed just before the HTV-7 falls back to Earth over the South Pacific on Saturday (November 10), NASA officials said.



	Called the small HTV return capsule, the cone-shaped vehicle measures 2.7 feet wide (0.8 meters), 2.1 feet high (0.6 meters) and weighs 397 pounds (180 kilograms).

		"The return capsule will be ejected from a hatch after the depobit burns," NASA officials said in a statement. "The experimental capsule will make a drop of water with a parachute on the coast of Japan, where a JAXA ship will be waiting for recovery."

		NASA officials said the capsule carries results from the protein crystal growth experiment. 

		Gerst wished the team behind the re-entry capsule got lucky in its next technology test. It was he and his companions of the Expedition 57 who filled the capsule with its experimental load and tied it to the HTV-7 hatch.

		"We congratulate all participating engineers for the successful design and assembly of the small return capsule, and we wish all the best for the next and most interesting phase of the mission of the return capsule: re-entry and descent."
