NASA\u2019s live coverage of the departure of JAXA\u2019s (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency\u2019s) uncrewed HTV-X1 cargo spacecraft from the\u00a0International Space Station<\/a>\u00a0is underway on\u00a0NASA+<\/a>,\u00a0Amazon Prime<\/a>,\u00a0and the agency\u2019s\u00a0YouTube<\/a>\u00a0channel.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Release from the\u00a0space\u00a0station\u2019s Canadarm2\u00a0robotic arm<\/a> is scheduled for\u00a012 p.m.\u00a0EST. Coverage will conclude after the spacecraft\u00a0departs\u00a0the\u00a0vicinity of the space\u00a0station.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Flight controllers on the ground sent commands\u00a0on Thursday, March 5,\u00a0for the station\u2019s Canadarm2 robotic arm to detach HTV-X1 from the Harmony module<\/a>\u2019s Earth-facing port and maneuver the spacecraft into position for release.\u00a0NASA astronaut\u00a0Chris Williams<\/a>\u00a0will\u00a0monitor\u00a0the spacecraft\u2019s\u00a0systems during its departure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The HTV-X1 spacecraft will remain in orbit for more than three months acting as a scientific platform for JAXA\u2019s experiments.\u00a0Following the command for deorbit, the spacecraft will dispose of several thousand pounds of trash during re-entry into Earth\u2019s atmosphere, where it will burn up harmlessly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The spacecraft arrived at the station Oct. 29, 2025, after launching Oct. 25 atop an H3 rocket from Japan\u2019s\u00a0Tanegashima\u00a0Space Center.<\/p>\n
