[:ja]クリスティーナ・コッシュ宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したHTVの分離の様子です。軌道上の昼から夜への移り変わりも見られます。
Gone but not forgotten! Watching the HTV cargo ship depart @Space_Station today and remembering the complex dance of the robotic arm that marked the beginning of its stay. The batteries being removed were later installed by us on spacewalks—can’t beat that for teamwork! pic.twitter.com/UsJHFAWJTE

「こうのとり（HTV）」は、H-IIBロケットにより打ち上げられる無人の宇宙船で、食糧や衣類、各種実験装置など最大6トンの補給物資を地上約400km上空の軌道上にある国際宇宙ステーションに送り届け、補給が済むと用途を終えた実験機器や使用後の衣類などを積み込み、大気圏に再突入して燃やします。

HTV is an unmanned cargo transporter developed by Japan that delivers various supplies to International Space Station (ISS). It re-enters the atmosphere at 120km altitude, melting starts at 80km mesosphere with aerodynamic heating and leftover pieces fall on the South Pacific Ocean.
