I tried to feel like an astronaut with the game 'HTV GO!' where you can experience the operation of the space station replenisher 'Kotonotori' for free



' HTV GO! ', where you can experience the operation of the

space station replenisher (HTV) 'Kotonotori' that plays a role of delivering food and water supplies to the International Space Station (ISS), is released for free from JAXA. I am. Since the PC version and smartphone/tablet version have been released, I experienced the operation of stork like an astronaut.

To play the spacecraft operation experience game 'HTV GO!', access the above URL and click the link for PC version or smartphone/tablet version. This time I played the PC version.



Start the game by clicking 'Click to start!' from the start screen.



The game has 3 stages. The goal for the first stage is to control the stork and make it rendezvous with the ISS.



Use the up/down/left/right keys on the keyboard to control the

thruster and bring it closer to the ISS.



Using thrusters reduces the amount of propellant. The point is to operate while saving the propellant while spraying the thruster finely.



The game is over when the thruster rushes away from the ISS or the propellant becomes 0%.



Raising the stork along the line in the red frame ...



You can see the ISS. Take the stork to the red box.



The game is over even if you raise the stork too much and collide with the ISS.



If you keep the stork in the red box for 4 seconds, you can clear the first stage.



In the second stage, operate the arm to bring it closer to the pin on the side of the stove and the griple fixture (FRGF) that serves as the grip. Operate with the up/down/left/right keys as in 1 stage



The game is over when the stork battery displayed in the upper right reaches 0.



When the arm approaches FRGF, it enters the third stage. Clear by overlapping the green circle on the pin in the center of the red frame at the top of FRGF. The game is over at this stage when the battery on the upper right reaches 0.



Use the up/down/left/right keys and the spacebar to bring the green circle closer to the pin. The closer you come to the pin, the more detailed operation is required, and when the yellow gauge is displayed, it is about to clear.



The game is cleared when the yellow gauge reaches 0. The total score and title are displayed. The play time per game was about 3 minutes.



The game is compatible with Microsoft Edge/Google Chrome/Safari/Firefox for the PC version, iOS 13.5.1 or higher, and Android 10 or higher for the smartphone/tablet version.

'HTV GO!' was developed by researchers who are actually involved in the research and development of 'Kotonotori' of JAXA. The game will end in about 3 minutes, but the actual rendezvous and connection with the ISS will take over 3 days and it has been published on the JAXA official website.
