Spaceship interior12/15/2023 ![]() The central core is enlarged to accommodate 15 crew (3), designed to be a short-term shelter during a solar radiation event. Maximising the number of pods meant the interior space had to be efficient but comfortable and serve multiple functions a seated and laying orientation was required to enable 20 crew locations for takeoff and landings and allow for personal refuge and a comfortable environment in which to work in isolation.ĭue to the heat shield’s location on the starship, the windward side pods have window-style display screens showing remote views or personalised senses. As such, each pod entrance has a monitoring/display interface for rotation allocation and intercom. This design variation has a capacity for 30 crew members, and a least a third would be designated for “hot racking”, where the crew would alternate pods between shifts. There are 20 pods on two tiers with privacy and acoustic shutters. This level is dedicated to accommodating personal crew pods (1) that are utilised for sleeping, personal space, working, and flight. Each level also has a communication/systems rack consisting of a touch screen monitor and an emergency/medical station close to level access (2)(3). The vertical access ladder within the central core (7) also functions as a cargo lift to transport supplies and equipment between levels when in positive-G, enabling restocking of the short-term supplies or maintenance equipment. As the largest communal area on the ship, the crew could convene for social events or mission briefings. This feature enables the area to be used for alternative functions. This function allows for a larger screen for entertainment or group activities.īelow the main window are positive and zero-G retractable bench seating and tables (6), which, when not in use, fold down into the floor. The food can then be prepared using one of the four food prep points (1) to allow multiple crew members to prepare meals simultaneously.Īs with the flight deck, the viewing window has a shield to protect against solar radiation or space debris with a two-slit display screen that joins when the shields are closed. The storage units (4) contain short-term food supplies, restocked from long-term storage on Levels 1 and 2. ![]() This allows for a second larger viewing window (5) and makes for a central hub feature. To maximise usable space and allow for positive and zero-G circulation, the functional equipment and storage are located together on the windward side of the ship. It is accessed via the central core (7), which in this design has two hatches, giving the ability to partition sections within a level if required and allowing the crew line-of-sight through the hatches, adding to the perception of space. This level is for food preparation, dining, food storage, socialising and crew briefings. The VR interactive tour has been created by M圓Ideas and modelled by Jen Christensen & Dale Rutherford using our concept design. The tour button will redirect you to a VR model walkthrough, allowing you to navigate around each Starship level. Consisting of: Concept Design Plans / Brief description / Orientation Graphics & a VR Walkthrough link (TAKE A TOUR) Scroll down for an overview of each level, starting at the top (Flight Deck). The design and orientation are configured for 30 Crew living in positive and zero-G conditions. ![]() And how much storage/supplies would be required for long and short duration missions. Our designs are intended to allow people interested in the Starship program to visualise the possible configurations and better understand how a crew could live, work, and socialise in confined spaces. With the exciting development of SpaceX’s Starship and the Super Heavy launch system, we wanted to look at the possible interior design configurations and propose a design that had the potential to support a crew to the Moon and Mars.
