After several months at the International Space Station, Japan’s HTV-X1 cargo ship will be unberthed from the outpost with trash and unneeded equipment.
After a post-ISS mission lasting a month or two, HTV-X1 will eventually be commanded to perform a deorbit burn to reenter and break apart in Earth’s atmosphere over a remote area of the Pacific Ocean.
HTV-X is a successor cargo ship to the Japanese HTV spacecraft, which launched nine times between 2009 and 2020.
Orbital Velocity is designed to be "living time capsule" about the International Space Station.
This project is an attempt to bridge an information gap between space agencies and companies, as well as a public that supports space endeavors with their tax dollars. Despite the importance of the space station, the general public doesn't always know what is happening aboard this amazing complex on a regular basis. Research being conducted isn't always readily available and what information is out there can sometimes be difficult to understand. Some people aren't even aware there is an active space program, let alone a space station.
Orbital Velocity hopes to change that by building a database of information through blogs, a website, small videos and longer documentary-like series'.
