Are there any chances of HTV flying by 2010 ?


It depends on whether JAXA gets serious about developing the H-IIB. The H-
IIA lacks the performance to carry an HTV to orbit.


Weren't there stories a while ago about LockMart or Boeing
license-building (or joint building) HTV as part of the COTS proposal?
