“…It is handled as one of the most important hazardous items in safety review. 6) (2) Solution Conventionally, HTV does two descending maneuvers, DSM1 and DSM2, to depart from ISS, and three deorbit maneuvers, DOM1, DOM2 and DOM3 for controlled reentry. In order to change the parking orbit altitude from 5 km to more than 20 km below the ISS, the maneuver plan adds two maneuvers DSM3 and DSM4 after DSM2, as shown in Fig.…”

The H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) is Japan's unmanned cargo transfer spacecraft that delivers cargo/supplies. It has on-orbit platform function to provide a demonstration to users from HTV4. ElectroDynamic Tether (EDT) technique, which is a promising candidate as a debris removal device, is planned to be demonstrated using HTV6. The demonstration concept is that the end-mass with 700 meter tether is deployed and currents on the tether are driven by emitting electrons from HTV after departure from ISS. This mission is called Kounotori Integrated Tether Experiments (KITE), and there are some demands for unique operations of the HTV in order to perform KITE. The objective of the paper is to evaluate KITE feasibility from the standpoint of HTV operation.
