The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is scheduled to launch an H-IIB rocket from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan at 07:29 CET on Thursday, 20 January. The launch vehicle will send the Kounotori H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV2) into orbit on a week-long rendezvous with the station. “Kounotori” is the Japanese word for white stork, emblematic of delivering happiness and joy.

On 27 January, Expedition 26 Flight Engineers Cady Coleman and [ESA’s] Paolo Nespoli will command the station’s robotic arm, Canadarm2, to reach out, grapple Kounotori, and attach it to the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module.
