<p>The Japanese HTV "Technical Demonstration Vehicle" (PFM) was opened to the press on April 17. <br />HTV approaches from ISS to 10m using TDRS, GPS, a laser radar, etc., after being launched with a HII-B rocket. <br />HTV finally docks with Harmony by using a Canadarm2.<br />HTV and ATV have a relation of a mutual complement.</p><table border="1" width="650" height="248"><tbody><tr><th width="234" scope="col">&nbsp;</th><th width="69" scope="col">Progress</th><th width="90" scope="col">ATV</th><th width="229" scope="col">HTV</th></tr><tr><th scope="row"><div align="center">Cargo capacity</div></th><td><div align="center">2t</div>
