In the pressurised compartment, HTV-X1 carries the following cargo:{{cite web |url=https://www.jaxa.jp/projects/files/youtube/htv-x1/jaxa_doc01-20250602.pdf |language=ja |script-title=ja:新型宇宙ステーション補給機(HTV-X)1号機の開発状況 |publisher=JAXA |date=2 June 2025 |access-date=2 June 2025}}

  • foods
  • DRCS (Demonstration of Removing Carbon-dioxide System)
  • NORS (Nitrogen/Oxigen Recharge System) tank
  • RST (Water Resupply Tank)

As unpressurised cargo, HTV-X1 carries following cargo:
