HTV-X3
, tentatively called HTV-X, is an expendable Japanese cargo spacecraft under development by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to be used for International Space Station (ISS) resupply missions, as the successor of H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV). As of April 2025, the first flight is planned to be launched no earlier than October 2025. Development In May 2015, Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced a proposal to replace the HTV with an improved, cost-reduced version preliminarily called HTV-X. The proposal of HTV-X is as follows: * To re-use the design of HTV's Pressurised Logistics Carrier (PLC) as much as possible, except for adding a side hatch for late cargo access after the spacecraft-launch vehicle integration. * To replace the Unpressurised Logistics Carrier (ULC), Avionics Module, and Propulsion Module with a new Service Module. * To load the unpressurised cargo on top of the Service Module rather than inside the spacecr ...

JAXA
The is the Japanese national air and space agency. Through the merger of three previously independent organizations, JAXA was formed on 1 October 2003. JAXA is responsible for research, technology development and launch of satellites into orbit, and is involved in many more advanced missions such as asteroid exploration and possible human exploration of the Moon. Its motto is ''One JAXA'' and its corporate slogan is ''Explore to Realize'' (formerly ''Reaching for the skies, exploring space''). History On 1 October 2003, three organizations were merged to form the new JAXA: Japan's Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), the National Aerospace Laboratory of Japan (NAL), and National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA). JAXA was formed as an Independent Administrative Institution administered by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC).

H-II Transfer Vehicles
The H-II (H2) rocket was a Japanese satellite launch system, which flew seven times between 1994 and 1999, with five successes. It was developed by NASDA in order to give Japan a capability to launch larger satellites in the 1990s. It was the first two-stage liquid-fuelled rocket Japan made using only technologies developed domestically. It was superseded by the H-IIA rocket following reliability and cost issues. Background Prior to H-II, NASDA had to use components licensed by the United States in its rockets. In particular, crucial technologies of H-I and its predecessors were from the Delta rockets (the manufacturer of the Delta rockets, McDonnell Douglas, later Boeing and the United Launch Alliance, would later use the H-IIA's technologies (the rocket itself is the successor to the H-II) to create the Delta III, albeit short lived). Although the H-I did have some domestically produced components, such as LE-5 engine on the second stage and inertial guidance system, the m ...

Fiscal Year
A fiscal year (also known as a financial year, or sometimes budget year) is used in government accounting, which varies between countries, and for budget purposes. It is also used for financial reporting by businesses and other organizations. Laws in many jurisdictions require company financial reports to be prepared and published on an annual basis but generally with the reporting period not aligning with the calendar year (1 January to 31 December). Taxation laws generally require accounting records to be maintained and taxes calculated on an annual basis, which usually corresponds to the fiscal year used for government purposes. The calculation of tax on an annual basis is especially relevant for direct taxes, such as income tax. Many annual government fees—such as council tax and license fees are also levied on a fiscal year basis, but others are charged on an anniversary basis. Some companies, such as Cisco Systems, end their fiscal year on the same day of the week each ye ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Common Berthing Mechanism
The Common Mechanism (CBM) connects habitable elements in the US Orbital Segment (USOS) of the International Space Station (ISS). The CBM has two distinct sides that, once mated, form a cylindrical wiktionary:vestibule, vestibule between modules. The vestibule is about long and across. At least one end of the vestibule is often limited in diameter by a smaller wiktionary:bulkhead, bulkhead penetration. The elements are maneuvered to the berthing-ready position by a . Latches and bolts on the active CBM (ACBM) side pull wiktionary:fitting#Nouns, fittings and nut plate, floating nuts on the passive CBM (PCBM) side to align and join the two. After the vestibule is pressurized, crew members clear a passage between modules by removing some CBM components. Utility connectors are installed between facing bulkheads, with a closeout panel to cover them. The resulting tunnel can be used as a loading dock, loading bay, admitting large payloads from visiting cargo spacecraft that would no ...
