The cockpit prototype is similar to the Crew Dragon spacecraft, with crew seats placed in front of touchscreen monitors. In particular, three additional large portrait panels have been added that display simulated HLS starship portholes, increasing the immersive effect for astronauts.
The interface on the screens is similar to that of Crew Dragon, but with obvious changes for the Starship HLS, including an eye-catching six-circle engine gauge displaying Raptor thrusters.
Surprisingly, the display also shows four smaller engines and four pylons not previously shown in diagrams. The purpose of these elements remains unclear, as current Artemis mission variants do not require Raptor aspirated engines or additional soft landing engines. Although some of the interface details are illegible, this view gives an idea of the early stages of development.
