[b]Launch Schedule Updates, the H-II Transfer Vehicle "Kounotori7" aboard the H-IIB Vehicle No. 7[/b] Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have updated launch schedule of the H-IIB Launch Vehicle No. 7 (H-IIB F7) which carries aboard the H-II Transfer Vehicle "Kounotori7" (HTV7), the cargo transporter to the International Space Station (ISS). Necessity arose to investigate the H-IIB F7 propulsion system, forcing MHI and JAXA to cancel the launch previously rescheduled for September 15, 2018. MHI and JAXA have taken the course of action necessary to identify and deal with the cause that the investigation revealed. Based on the investigation results and the progress of the corrective measures H-IIB F7 launch schedule updates go as follows: [list][*]Launch Date: September 22, 2018 [*]Launch Time: Around 3:15 a.m. (Japan Standard Time, JST) [Launch time is approximate and subject to change, to coordinate with the latest ISS orbit and operations.] [*]Reserved Launch Period: September 23 through October 31, 2018 [Launch time and date during the reserved launch period are pending, to be determined by the ISS operations and other status.][/list]
