HATCH
The hatch placement is optimized
for movement during ingress
and egress. The design is based
on the assumption that pilot and
commander will be the first to be
seated whilst mission specialists
will move about performing various
duties.

SAMPLES BAG
The sample bag is a standardized
form that can be fit into any of the
stowage containers. It offers thermal
insulation and shock protection
whilst preserving flexibility in the
various samples that will be stowed.

LIGHTING
The lighting is distributed through
two types of lights: the long
‘bar’ that stretches the length of
the core section which provides
ambient light and the spotlights in
the endcap section which ensure
astronauts can clearly see their
controls.
