The launch vehicle flew smoothly, and, at about 15 minutes and 10 seconds after liftoff, the separation of HTV-1 was confirmed. Carrying about 3.5 tons of pressurized and unpressurized supplies to the International Space Station, HTV-1 is scheduled to be captured and attached to the outpost on Thursday, September 17, using the station's robotic arm.</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/htv1_launch02.jpg" WIDTH="400" HEIGHT="450" BORDER="0"> <font size="-2">Credit: JAXA</font></center>
