Captured by the Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS), KOUNOTORI7(HTV7) was moved to the releasing point below the station and released into orbit at 01:50 a.m., November 8.

After the HTV7 release, between the ISS, HTV Flight Control Room at Tsukuba Space Center, and Jonson Space Center (JSC) Mission Control Center had a following
nice conversation.

• ESA Astronaut Alexander Gerst :
  “arigatou gozaimasu” (Thank you very much) from ISS Expedition 57 crew、and “kio tsukete” (take care.)
• HTV FD (Flight Director) Ms. Nakano:
  “arigatou gozaimasu”(Thank you very much) from HTV FD.
• JSC CAPCOM:
  “utsukushii fune arigatou gozaimashita” (Thank you very much for beautiful ship) “soshite sayonara”(and goodbye.)
