The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is working on detail design of its new HTV-X cargo spacecraft, aiming at a first launch in 2022. The spacecraft is a candidate for supplying the Gateway, a small space station that NASA plans to put in lunar orbit. HTV-X will succeed JAXA’s HTV spacecraft, which is due to make its ninth and final mission to the International Space Station in 2020.
