H2B
Japanese medium-lift ISS cargo rocket
Built for one job: carry the Kōnotori cargo ship to the International Space Station. H-IIB flew nine times between 2009 and 2020, delivering food, experiments, and equipment to the ISS every time without a single failure. With the final HTV mission done, it was retired to make way for H3.
