Nice and good information about JAXA's H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV-6) Kounotori-6, but are covers existing for this flight (normal or flown)?

Future will show, whether HTV-6 covers will be made.

As for previous Kounotori flights, cosmonauts on board ISS postmarked commemorative covers. I am aware of the following numbers of covers issued:

  • HTV-1: 7
  • HTV-2: exiat
  • HTV-3: 9
  • HTV-4: 7
  • HTV-5: 6
A HTV-5 commemorative covers postmarked on board ISS is below. I am not aware of any cover or letter flown with Kounotori.
