Japan’s HTV-6 cargo vehicle has completed its destructive re-entry on Monday, February 6, following its departure the International Space Station (ISS) over a week ago. The spacecraft performed without issue as it delivered vital supplies both for the crew and the Station itself during its mission, with its final role involving a cargo of ISS trash – and replaced Station batteries – being disposed of during its fiery EOM (End Of Mission).
