H-II Transfer Vehicle KOUNOTORI (HTV)

CAM Demonstration Concluded with Great Success

Last Updated: September 12, 2009

The Collision Avoidance Maneuver (CAM) demonstration went quite smoothly. The last maneuver took place at 4:34 p.m.,September 12, and with that, the HTV-1 concluded all the CAM tests. The HTV-1's systems functioned well throughout the demonstration, proving that the HTV-1 could safely move away from the International Space Station (ISS) in case of any emergency during its final rendezvous phase. The data obtained during today's demonstration will be reviewed at NASA's ISS Mission Management Team (IMMT) meeting on FD6 for approval for the HTV-1's final approach to the ISS.

The next HTV-1 Mission update will be posted on September 14.
