(1) Cargo support hardware : containers, racks, shelves, lateral guides, bags; pipes and tanks for water, gas, refueling and reboost propellants; Kurs antenna and anti-meteorite protection.
(2) About one third of the 3 690 kg mission propellant figure corresponds to the propellant needed for the demonstration phases unique to the Jules Verne flight (such as testing the rendezvous abort modes: stopping the approach, going back to a parking orbit and delaying the rendezvous until the following day like the touch-and-go of an aircraft).
(3) Dry cargo volume (with 6 racks which are a kind of support shelf) available is about 13.8 m³ (9.3 m³ inside the racks + 4.5 m³ outside the racks), but the payload priority for the Jules Verne mission is given to re-boost propellants.
