JAXA President Hiroshi Yamakawa confirmed that - “The H3 rocket No. 7 carrying the HTV-X1 was launched at 09:00 local time. The first HTV-X separated approximately 14 minutes and 4 seconds after liftoff. We have confirmed that HTV-X1 has begun flight towards the International Space Station.”

The HTV-X is built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and is designed to stay docked to the ISS for up to six months, delivering vital supplies and scientific equipment to support astronauts on board.
