Preflight Interview: Nicole Stott
Well, it’s the H-II Transfer Vehicle―we call it the HTV, of course, ’cause we need an acronym for everything―and it’s a Japanese-built, unmanned cargo vehicle, and like the Progress, the Russian Progress, and the European ATV [Automated Transfer Vehicle].
In comparison to those other two, is it bigger, smaller in terms of the amount of cargo it can deliver?
It’s on par with the size of the European ATV, but the difference in it is that both the Russian Progress and the European ATV automatically fly to the station and then automatically dock with the station, so they join up and mate to the station on their own; there are backups in case something goes wrong there, that we could manually control it. But the HTV is kind of cool because it comes up, gets to about ten meters from the space station, and then the two vehicles, the space station and the HTV, are kind of flying along together,"

Preflight Interview: Nicole Stott
Well, it’s the H-II Transfer Vehicle―we call it the HTV, of course, ’cause we need an acronym for everything―and it’s a Japanese-built, unmanned cargo vehicle, and like the Progress, the Russian Progress, and the European ATV [Automated Transfer Vehicle].
In comparison to those other two, is it bigger, smaller in terms of the amount of cargo it can deliver?
It’s on par with the size of the European ATV, but the difference in it is that both the Russian Progress and the European ATV automatically fly to the station and then automatically dock with the station, so they join up and mate to the station on their own; there are backups in case something goes wrong there, that we could manually control it. But the HTV is kind of cool because it comes up, gets to about ten meters from the space station, and then the two vehicles, the space station and the HTV, are kind of flying along together,"

HTV技術実証機
最新情報:
飛行8日目、予定されている2回の高度調整マヌーバを
9月17日午後6時24分と同日午後9時26分に実施して国際宇宙ステーションISS)と同じ軌道高度に達し、
同日午後10時59分には、ISSの後方5kmに到着する予定です。
第1回高度調整マヌーバを実施(9月16日)
飛行7日目、HTV技術実証機は9月16日午前9時04分に、第1回高度調整マヌーバを実施し、計画通り遠地点高度324km、近地点高度305kmの軌道に投入されました。
http://iss.jaxa.jp/htv/news/
飛行8日目には、2回の高度調整マヌーバを実施し、ISSと直接通信が可能な領域(近傍通信領域:ISSから23kmの距離)に到達する予定です。
ここで「きぼう」日本実験棟に搭載されている近傍通信システム(PROX)との通信が確立すると、GPS相対航法を用いたマヌーバを実施して、
9月17日午後10時59分頃、ISS後方5km(接近開始点(Approach Initiation: AI))に到達する予定です。
その後HTV技術実証機は、
9月18日午前0時30分にAI点から出発し、ISSへの最終接近を開始します。HTV技術実証機はISSの下方500mまで移動すると、ISS下方から時間をかけてISSに接近していきます。
ISSのロボットアーム(SSRMS)による把持は、
9月18日午前4時50分頃、
ISSへの結合は同日午前7時頃から開始される予定。

Preflight Interview: Nicole Stott
Well, it’s the H-II Transfer Vehicle―we call it the HTV, of course, ’cause we need an acronym for everything―and it’s a Japanese-built, unmanned cargo vehicle, and like the Progress, the Russian Progress, and the European ATV [Automated Transfer Vehicle].
In comparison to those other two, is it bigger, smaller in terms of the amount of cargo it can deliver?
It’s on par with the size of the European ATV, but the difference in it is that both the Russian Progress and the European ATV automatically fly to the station and then automatically dock with the station, so they join up and mate to the station on their own; there are backups in case something goes wrong there, that we could manually control it. But the HTV is kind of cool because it comes up, gets to about ten meters from the space station, and then the two vehicles, the space station and the HTV, are kind of flying along together,"
