How exciting for Japan's aerospace agency! Good luck to all involved that the mission continues to go well and as planned.

The single most important feature of the Konotori (ignored here) is that it is pressurised at almost 1 ATM, and that the launching system does not exceed the g limits acceptable for launching astronauts.

@ Ebisen - but it lacks the means to re-enter the atmosphere and land safely.

Well done JAXA on another successful supply mission for the ISS!
