Japanese cargo craft that carried KITE, an experimental 700 m electrodynamic tether meant to test a way of dragging space debris out of orbit. After the craft left the International Space Station on 27 January 2017 the tether failed to deploy, and the craft burned up on reentry.

Small satellites carried inside the craft were released from the station between 19 December 2016 and 7 March 2017.
