iss073e0988452 (Oct. 29, 2025) --- The new HTV-X1 cargo spacecraft from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), carrying approximately 12,800 pounds of science, supplies, and hardware for the Expedition 73 crew, is pictured after being captured by the Canadarm2 robotic arm. The Common Berthing Mechanism, located at the base of HTV-X1, is visible and serves as the interface that attaches the spacecraft to the Earth-facing port on the International Space Station’s Harmony module, enabling crew access to the cargo inside.
