To offer the same services for the new space station and lunar base will mean that greater distances and payloads will need to be catered for.
MHI is in the process of upgrading both Kounotori and its new H3 launch vehicle to pack a punch when it comes to supplying the Gateway and the moon surface over the next decade. The Kounotori ‘space freighter’ and MHI’s H3 launch vehicle are being upgraded to provide long-haul deliveries to the moon and beyond. of the Kounotori ‘space freighter,’ HTV-X, is under development. It will enhance cargo transport capability up to about 50 percent, readying it for trips with more supplies and missions further out in space as the Artemis program unfolds.
At the same time, the H3 launch vehicle, which will halve the manufacturing cost compared with earlier launch vehicles, is set to make its maiden flight by early 2021. Different versions of H3 and HTV-X will be geared for different orbits, depending on the size of the payload being carried. Over the next few years, MHI and JAXA will work on optimizing H3 and HTV-X for different types of missions to Earth’s orbit, the moon, and beyond.
