From food deliveries to batteries, this spacecraft is a lifeline for astronauts paid Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
As wondrous as space is, it’s rather inconvenient. Astronauts can’t just pop to the corner store when they get a hankering for tortillas. Their food needs to last and be easy to eat in zero gravity.
Since the retirement of the U.S. Space Shuttle fleet, the HTV has been one of the few cargo spacecraft capable of delivering large-sized equipment and supplies to the ISS.As the HTV’s prime manufacturer, MHI coordinates with more than 300 companies that supply the vehicle’s 1.2 million parts. Modules are manufactured at separate factories and assembled at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency ’s Tanegashima Space Center in the southern part of the country.
The cargo spacecraft also has its own avionics and propulsion modules, which navigates it to the space station after release from the H-IIB launch vehicle.The Japanese space freighter’s trips to the space station are complex undertakings, but after seven previous missions, the entire process is a well-honed routine.
