Artemis II's Orion: Comfort and Control in Deep-Space Design
NASA's Artemis II interior design centers on safety and human factors in Orion: adaptive seats for nearly all astronauts, configurable layouts, alternative control devices for limited movement, acoustics and odor control for privacy, and flexible crew quarters. Information displays are organized to show the right data at the right time, with software handling many flight tasks while preserving crew override. Designers treat comfort and autonomy as essential to enable calm, productive operation during reentry and longer missions.
