HTV-X1 is the first flight of the HTV-X series, serving as a technical demonstration mission of the new uncrewed expendable cargo spacecraft. It launched on 26 October 2025.
== Payload == As the maiden flight, HTV-X1 is flown as a technical demonstration and was thus not loaded to maximum capacity, with a deficit of approximately deducted mainly from unpressurised cargo. Attaining the full design capacity of the HTV-X, pressurised and unpressurised, requires use of the H3 rocket's optional Autonomous Flight Safety System, which enables the flight to be aborted autonomously if anomalies are detected while the rocket is out of range of ground control centers. This system was first tested, but not fully operational during HTV-X1's launch on H3 Flight 7.
