This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and I like the original hook best. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. QPQ has been done, so this is good to go with ALT0.

Crosstemplejay: This is almost ready for promotion, just two more things to do: it may need to be noted in the article that the satellite was launched aboard
SpaceX CRS-14, and the sentence "Technical support was provided by Japan's Aerospace Exploration Agency was launched from the International Space Station" may need to be rephrased since it seems to miss the word "it".

Crosstemplejay: There was an error in your edit: the article now states that it was launched onboard a "SpaceX CRS-14" rocket: it should say that the satellite was launched onboard SpaceX CRS-14 which was launched on a Falcon 9 rocket.
