http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?cid=4715Below are some screenshots from the video (the element this part of the video presented) from the recent All Hands Constellation conference, which was internal (but we got a link via a source and recorded it, he he
)
(L2 members: This footage starts from 1hr 14mins 50 seconds on the 135mb video available to download there).
Selected screenshots entered into this thread to go alongside the article. Sorry about the quality being a bit crappy. Had to covert the video into a different format and then slap it through Windows Movie Maker, ugg

I finally got around to watching the all hands video, I see what you meant as far as the "Q&A" portion being rather odd. Gotta love them dragon flys though

Yet another great article. Any more like this and I'll be forced to get L2.
One question: How close is the cockpit fidelity in that mockup to the one that's going to fly?

I should explain that. Skip's part of the conference was the most fun, but it was meant to be part of a two hour conference. They finished about 30 mins too early as they went to a Q and A stage, which was surreal.
They went to a videocam of each NASA center, and no one had any questions. They went back to the conference center - and no one had any questions. They went to the panel - to see if they had any questions for themselves! And all they could come back with was "It's a bit cold in here"....and they ended it there. A bit surreal.

Watched the video. Felt like I was there, which is cool. Also nice to see the NASA managers have a sense of humor. Any more articles to come out of the video, as they did a lot on the other stuff too. The test vehicle construction and rollout video was very cool.

It is nice to see that even though the CLV is hitting a few snags, NASA is using "the show must go on" attitude.

Love the "No high heels in the CEV" and the cannon fun they are having.

Yeah, but with the CLV in flux we'll hold back on that part.

It almost looks like with the CEV having come this far already, but the CLV in limbo, that it is going to be a case of all dressed up and no way to get to the party. Hopefully that stuff will shake itself out pretty quick though

Sorry, got stuck in the CEV section topics on this and misses this thread with the screenshots. Very nice work getting hold of this.

So which will come first, the CEV announcement or the CLV changes?

Does anyone besides me find it weird that NASA is building simulators and test articles of a vehicle that is under competitive bid?

They are only mockups and not the final configurations. They were possibly used in the proposal evaluations. The same thing was done for Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. The shuttle mockups in the same building were not built by Rockwell.

I'm very curious as to what the interior of the CEV will look like and how it'll contain up to 4-6 people. Is there a cutaway available online of any proposed designs?
