3D printing – model of an H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV)

2018-10-22 - Unpiloted vehicles, including JAXA's H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV), bring thousands of kilograms of cargo to the International Space Station.

As these ships approach the International Space Station, astronauts on board use Canadarm2 to grapple the ships and berth them to the Station. This tricky manoeuvre is known as a cosmic catch.
