launching from Japan

HTV-X2

Planned August 2026

Planned to demonstrate the JAXA Docking System (JDS), HTV-X2 is scheduled to make an autonomous approach and dock to the ISS's Harmony zenith port - the first time a Japanese cargo vehicle would do so under its own power rather than being berthed by the station's robotic arm.
