Inside SS Discovery's cockpit

[dom.stb]

Thought I'd share this with my fellow Kerbonauts. I guess many have seen this already, but it's new to me and it made me happy:

Space Shuttle Discovery 360VR images

Happy landings.

[Pursuedtank]

I too have never seen that before, thanks for sharing

[dom.stb]

No problem , I have to geek out about space to someone, I figure where better than here?

[erkha343]

I've seen it in person, and pictures don't do it justice, that thing up close, is amazing.

It's huge too!

[Tw1]

Awesome.

(My first thought was "wow, it's like B9 aerospace" the second: "That's inside the thing I've got a Lego model of in my cupboard")

I can't believe what I saw in that picture. Did the astronauts need to delete all the bloatware off the Dell before liftoff?

[Motokid600]

Wow... One wrong move... A sneeze maybe and your bumping the eject switch lol.

[Pixel of Life]

Interesting. Damn, those seats look uncomfortable Are the holes in the floor of the cockpit for docking port access?

[SecondGuessing]

It disturbs me that the bags in the back are in the wrong numerical order; how on Earth did these people get anywhere?!

[bulletrhli]

All the buttons... SO MANY BUTTONS! CAN WE PUSH THEM ALL?

Thanks for the share, never seen it before.

[The Jedi Master]

Buttons, knobs swicthes, throtlles, joysticks... laptop. "i'm in space lol"

This is good!

[katateochi]

Wow, BUTTONS!! Seriously wow, KSP controls eat your heart out, my mouse and keyboard looks so small now.

I guess there are some fights over who gets the chair with the cushion!

[cypher_00]

Uhm those chairs look really uncomfortable...

[Elemental]

Nice little canadian flag on that console... probably for the arm?

[dom.stb]

I'm glad you guys like it. I've been geeking out alot about NASA since the little tidbits that people like Scott Manley throw into their videos are so fascinating. It's nice looking around and seeing things we recognize in KSP like RCS switches and the Navballs and things.

[dom.stb]

I think that Canada section is indeed the control of the robotic arms that lift the payload out of Discovery's massive cargo bay. You can see a bit of the cargo bay through the window I think (just guessing though, I may be wrong).

If you want to play with those buttons try playing Space Shuttle Mission Simulator 2007. Its extremely accurate. I got to the point where I could do a complete mission almost without help finding the buttons and typing in the keyboard codes. That and the launches/reentry/landings were great in the sim but the satellite orbit ops were the down side - trying to get a satellite into the bay with the arm took me ages and ages and in the end stopped being fun. So I never got any further into the sim to try to dock with the space station etc. But if you are into very detailed sims try this game.

Wow... One wrong move... A sneeze maybe and your bumping the eject switch lol.

Don't forget that shuttle is transported to launch pad vertically and stays like that when astronauts get in their seats.

[Daze]

How beautiful is the glass cockpit guys...

[-RanZ-]

that is incredible

[loiske]

Thank you, this is awesome. And that cargo bay control table is cool too

[Vanamonde]

How did they move around in there? Any surface you touch is likely to eject the payload or select Botswana as the landing site.
