Test Flight of tブラックジャック 必勝法 H-ⅡB Launch Vehicle
The H-ⅡB launch vehicle was launched for a test flight on September 11, 2009, at 2:01 a.m. from the Tanegashima Space Center. The H-Ⅱ Transfer Vehicle (HTV) carried by the H-ⅡB was successfully berthed at the International Space Station (ISS) on September 18. After the laboratory equipment had been mounted on the exposed facility of the ISS, the HTV was loaded with waste material and separated from the ISS. The HTV re-entered the Earth's atmosphere on November 2, at 6:26 a.m., successfully ブラックジャック 必勝法mpleting its 52-day mission.

Assembly of tブラックジャック 必勝法 Kibo at tブラックジャック 必勝法 International Space Station
On July 16, 2009, at 7:03 a.m., the space shuttle Endeavour was launched from the Kennedy Space Center, carrying an external experimental platform (Exposed Facility) and external stowage pallet (Experiment Logistics Module Exposed Section) , the last parts required for ブラックジャック 必勝法mpletion of the Kibo Japanese Experiment Module. In a recent mission, Astronaut Wakata used the Kibo's robot arm for the first time in performing tasks. After the external experimental platform delivered by the space shuttle Endeavour was installed to the Kibo, the external payload was moved from the external stowage pallet to the external experimental platform, and then the external stowage pallet was stowed in the space shuttle. These tasks took 12 days to perform. After the successful ブラックジャック 必勝法mpletion of the mission, Astronaut Wakata returned to the Earth in the Endeavor, after a three-and-half-month stay in the International Space Station, together with six other crew members.
