[amsat-bb] HTV6 to ISS

[Mineo Wakita]

JAXA opened to the public yesterday seven nano satellites to be installed in
H-IIB Transfer Vehicle "KOUNOTORI" (HTV) to be launched next month. Satellites
are only about 1U~3U in size and will conduct experiments aimed at realizing the
space elevator which is expected to facilitate the movement of Earth and Universe
in the future. It's the first time to launch in JAXA with seven satellites at a time.

HTV6 Launch: 13:26 UTC, Dec.9, 2016 at the Tanegashima Space Center, Japan
