Virgin Galactic Spaceship Interior
The Virgin Galactic Spaceship Interior provides a unique customer experience that is suitable for a zero-G environment, elevating access to the view of Earth from Space while ensuring safety within a strict weight budget. The cabin was defined through inputs from a wide range of experts, including doctors, astronaut trainers, pilots, designers, engineers, and future astronaut customers. Extensive research into human interaction and navigation through micro-G has been conducted, as has testing our solutions on space test flights and low altitude parabolic flights. The interior is designed to withstand high G-forces during the rocket ride and to provide a weightless viewing platform as its seventeen windows point towards Earth.
This is the world’s first commercial spaceship, and the interior is the focal point of the astronaut journey. In the design of the cabin, the customer experience became a primary motivator. Lighting is concealed within the window surrounds, harmonising with each phase of your mission. A display keeps passengers informed, layered on top of pilot callouts, making passengers feel like part of the crew.
