The country of the rising sun is able to surprise and this time also did not disappoint - two combat human-like robots went to the ISS. It’s too early to panic, no one has violated international agreements and no weapons have appeared in the Earth’s orbit: there are toys aboard a small spacecraft.
An unusual event dedicated to the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games, which will be held in the summer of 2020 in Japan. If the coronavirus, of course, does not confuse all the cards, an epidemic forces people to cancel even the largest international events.
On Friday, March 6, the Dragon cargo ship of the private space company SpaceX successfully launched with cargo to the ISS. Among other things, he delivered the G-Satellite microsatellite to the orbital laboratory, which houses two Gundam toys. He will be released on a free flight at the end of April, and until that time he will remain at the station. According to the plan, the satellite will circle around the Earth, and seven cameras will broadcast the image of toy figures from different angles, as well as welcome messages in English, French and Japanese.
