spaceship:  “Konomori” To the earth – Collection capsule

Space transport ship “Konomori” brings supplies to the earth.

In the early hours of the 8th, we installed recovery capsules and departed from the International Space Station to the Earth.

We are conducting experiments in the zero gravity state at the space station.

‘Crystallized protein for medical research, etc’ will be brought back to the earth with ‘Konitori’.

The collection capsule is a cone with a diameter of more than 80 cm and can withstand the high temperature of 2000 degrees.

Currently only USA and Russia  have ‘capsule recovery’ technology that takes supplies from the ISS to the earth.
