HTV-X1 freighter departs the ISS after four-month stay

Japan’s HTV-X1 cargo spacecraft was released from the International Space Station by the Canadarm2 at 12 p.m. EST on March 6, 2026, ending a four‑month stay and remaining in orbit as a platform for JAXA experiments before disposing of trash during reentry. HTV-X1 is the first of its kind and successor to the HTV, which launched in October 2025 with about 9,000 pounds of supplies; the ISS docks also host Russia’s Progress, Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus, and SpaceX’s Dragon freighters.

HTV-X1 Set for ISS Departure With Scheduled NASA/JAXA Coverage

NASA and JAXA’s HTV-X1 cargo spacecraft is slated to depart the International Space Station on March 6 after delivering about 12,000 pounds of cargo; undocking on March 5 will be performed by Canadarm2, with live coverage starting at 11:45 a.m. EST before the 12 p.m. release. NASA will not provide live coverage of the undocking. HTV-X1 will remain in orbit for more than three months as a platform for JAXA experiments and will burn up upon reentry, disposing of several thousand pounds of trash. HTV-X1 arrived at the ISS on Oct. 29, 2025, after a Oct. 25 launch on an H3 rocket from Tanegashima.
