Japan successfully launched a newly developed H-2B rocket early Friday
carrying its first unmanned transportation vehicle used to supply the
International Space Station. The transportation vehicle, called HTV,
was separated from the H-2B No. 1 rocket about 15 minutes after the
rocket was launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima
Prefecture shortly after 2 a.m. and it was successfully put into orbit,
according to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or JAXA.
