The H-IIB Launch Vehicle No. 4 (H-IIB F4) carrying the H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV4, a cargo transporter to the International Space Station) will be launched on August 4, 2013, (Sunday, Japan Standard Time.) The launch time will be around 4:48 a.m. (JST.) It will be blasted off from the Yoshinobu Launch Complex at the Tanegahsima Space Center.
Kounotori 3 launched July 12, 2012 successfully to the International Space Station as seen in the YouTube video above.
The European Space Agency will launch the Albert Einstein ATV4 cargo and propulsion spacecraft atop an Ariane 5ES from Centre Spatiale Guyanaise, French Guiana on June 5, 2013.
The planned launch of the Kounotori 4 cargo spacecraft from Japan in August will most likely push the launch of the US Orbital Sciences Corporation Antares booster with the commercial cargo Cygnus spacecraft from Wallops Island, Va. into the fall on its first 'full-up' mission to the International Space Station.
