The HTV-1, inserted into the planned elliptical orbit on FD1, has been continuing a smooth flight on FD2.
Today, the HTV-1 performed the first rendezvous maneuver at 9:33 a.m. to raise its orbital altitude toward the ISS. Approximately two hours later, the HTV-1 reached the targeted orbit. While flying in this orbit, the HTV-1 will perform demonstration tests planned on FD3.
The next HTV-1 Mission updates will be posted on Saturday morning, September 12.
