Quick question, are there any images from inside the pressurized section of HTV-1? From ISS?

Wow, that's a pretty snug fit, especially when compared to this. :)

But you have to remember that Leonardo is almost emptied out at that time. The MPLM just look as packed before they are unloaded.

Makes sense.  Does anyone have any pictures of a packed MPLM?  All the ones I've found are external views...

How about a video or two:

The MPLM on STS-128 had 6 racks which doesn't take as much room as CTBs. You can see that it has CTBs on the right and left side, if you imagine that there where CTBs on the "floor" and "roof" as well if would be as cramped as the HTV.

http://iss.jaxa.jp/en/htv/news/htv1_set_to_depart_from_the_is.html

All the systems of the HTV-1 continue to operate nominally. The HTV-1's Pressurized Logistics Carrier, once emptied by the ISS crew members, is now packed with trash and other discarded items. When the trash loading is completed, hatches between the HTV PLC and the Harmony will be closed. The HTV-1's hatch closure is scheduled at around 2 a.m. October 30, 2009 [17:00 UTC on October 29 - anik].

At 10:30 p.m. [13:30 UTC - anik] on October 30, the station's robotic arm (SSRMS) will unberth the HTV-1 from the Harmony module (Node2), and will move the HTV-1 to its release position. The SSRMS is expected to release the HTV-1 at 1:05 a.m. October 31 [16:05 UTC on October 30 - anik].

After departing from the ISS, the HTV-1 will be gradually lowering its orbital altitude with performing three planned de-orbit maneuvers. The HTV-1 is expected to reenter the earth's atmosphere at 6:26 a.m. November 2, 2009 [21:26 UTC on November 1 - anik]; that will mark the end of this mission.

Conjunction Update: Further data points of the flight path of Object 33755 (Russian COSMOS 2421 debris) have moved the two successive conjunctions of the ISS out of harm’s way, and a DAM (Debris Avoidance Maneuver) will not be necessary. However, to clear the HTV’s post-release trajectory, tomorrow’s HTV release will be delayed by one orbit, i.e., at 1:00pm instead of 12:05pm EDT.

Stott and Thirsk are responsible for controlling of SSRMS.

Operation goes very smoothly so far :
