After the HTV-X1 spacecraft was mated with the H3🚀, a "Late Access Door" in one of its fairings allows for the loading of final cargo.

【✨Special Project Announcement✨】
Starting today, we will begin posting a special serialized feature titled ''#HTVX's Space Diary'' in a relay format across the accounts of JAXA, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and Mitsubishi Electric, covering the launch of the new space station resupply vehicle "HTV-X" through to the end of its mission!

HTV-X is a project led by JAXA, with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries responsible for developing the pressurized module that carries important cargo to the space station, and Mitsubishi Electric in charge of developing the service module that manages the flight functions for the journey to the space station✨

From the perspective of HTV-X itself as the protagonist, we will regularly post the story of its challenges and growth.
Please warmly watch over its journey!

Nice to meet you!
I'm the new space station resupply vehicle, HTV-X!🛰️
Following in the footsteps of the great predecessor "Kounotori," I've been tasked with delivering important cargo to the International Space Station!
I'm a bit nervous for my first mission, but I'll trust in my companions and do my very best!💪
I'd be thrilled if you could cheer me on for the journey that starts from here!😊

Wow! It feels like I'm being wrapped up in a big capsule!
This is a special "armor" that protects me from the intense wind and heat during launch, and it's called a "fairing"! 🛡️✨
Once I put on this fairing, I'm finally ready to be placed on top of the rocket!
The next time I take this off, I'll already be in space!
I'm getting all excited—! 😆

At the end of September 2025, we completed propellant loading into the service module (SM) of the HTV-X No. 1 vehicle and the loading of standard cargo into the pressurized module (PM), and then performed the full vehicle integration of the SM and PM 🪢
After full vehicle integration, we conducted a comprehensive electrical test to verify the integrity of the HTV-X.

Unsurprisingly the launch has now been delayed till TBD with dismal launch site weather predicted (lightning, strong wind and heavy rainfall warnings all present) through to at least October 26: https://www.jaxa.jp/press/2025/10/20251019-1_j.html

HTV-X will continue to deliver fresh food to the ISS, following in the footsteps of "Kounotori." Please take a look at the footage from the fresh food transport rehearsal conducted in May 2025🍅
What kind of fresh food will actually be delivered by the HTV-X1 vehicle, I wonder.... Look forward to it🚀

I've found some nice docs on the HTV-X1 launch (which I've cached at https://planet4589.org/space/misc/htv ) but nothing giving a pressurized cargo layout like we always got for the old HTV missions as illustrated here -
@HTVX_JAXA or anyone, is one available?
