September 10, 2009 - Tanegashima Space Center.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) Demonstration Flight aboard the H-IIB Launch Vehicle Test Flight (H-IIB TF1) at 2:01:46 a.m. on September 11, 2009 (Japan Standard Time, JST) from the Tanegashima Space Center. The launch azimuth was 108.5 degrees.
The launch vehicle flew smoothly, and, at about 15 minutes and 10 seconds after liftoff, the separation of the HTV Demonstration Flight was confirmed.
Mad! It is sad The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) hasn't built a more international Space Station. It is excellent that Japan is helping. uncosa you just don't heard about these agencies, yet the ISS still floats, it is amazing, thank you Japan.
