iss074e0365138 (March 6, 2026) --- The HTV‑X1 cargo spacecraft from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) is grasped by the Canadarm2 robotic arm as the International Space Station orbits 271 miles above the Indian Ocean, off the coast of South Africa. Moments later, Canadarm2 would release HTV‑X1 into Earth orbit, completing the spacecraft’s four‑month stay attached to the orbital outpost’s Harmony module. Credit: NASA
