[b]Launch postponement of "Kounotori-6" (HTV-6)[/b] Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) decided to postpone the launch of the H-IIB Launch Vehicle No. 6 with the H-II Transfer Vehicle "Kounotori-6" (HTV-6) on board from the Tanegashima Space Center, which was scheduled for Oct. 1, 2016 (Japan Standard Time). The new launch date will be announced as soon as it is determined. A slight leak was detected from piping of the HTV-6 during an air tightness test. The test is part of HTV-6 launch preparations at the launch site. JAXA will disband the HTV-6 module and take necessary measures.
