The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has launched the first HTV-X, its new unmanned supply vehicle, from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture to deliver supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). The HTV-X boosts transport capacity by 50% over its predecessor and can carry frozen or refrigerated food as well as research samples. Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui operated the ISS's robotic arm to capture and dock the vehicle.
