The HTV-1 was unberthed from the ISS by the station's robotic arm (SSRMS) at 0:00 a.m. October 31, completing 42 days 16 hours 35 minutes (*1) of its berthed operations.

Then this, the SSRMS will slowly move the HTV-1 to the release point, and will release the HTV-1 at around 2:30 am. Then, the HTV-1 will begin a solo flight toward the end of its mission.

*1: The berthed duration is based on the HTV-1's hard mating / de-mating with the ISS by the SSRMS（from 7:27 a.m. September 18 through 0:02 a.m. October 31）.

*All times are Japan Standard Time (JST. UTC + 9 hours)
