Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description When SpaceX launches four non-professional private astronauts eka USA citizens on the Inspiration4 spaceflight mission, they are going to have the ultimate window, a glass dome termed as a SpaceX Crew Dragon's Cupola offering panoramic views of Earth from space.

While SpaceX's Crew Dragon Resilience spacecraft for the mission is already equipped with flat windows, the Inspiration4 mission, which is set to launch later this year with billionaire Jared Isaacman, who booked the flight with SpaceX, will have this unique domed window Situated inside the nosecone of Crew Dragon, allowing crew members to get a 360-degree view of their surroundings. That new window, and the Inspiration4 mission's full crew will fly to Space on a three Day orbital Trip on 15 September 2021.

The extra space is possible for the domed window because unlike most SpaceX capsules, which dock at the International Space Station, there is no need for a docking hatch. The design appears almost similar to the Cupola window that is present in the International Space Station (ISS). The Cupola window flew to the orbiting space Station with space shuttle mission STS-130 in February 2010. it allows astronauts to perform Earth observation for science experiments or spare time from an altitude of roughly 250 mi (400 km).

Inspiration4-mission-crew will be the first to Use the cupola and is mated to crew Dragon Resilience on Its 1st mission. Its location is near the dragon Toilet and so a good feature for the crew. It is Easily Removable so that when the dragon will be used for ISS mission can replace this cupola with an ISS Docking mechanism. It is Sent To Space Inside the Dragon's Reusable or Retractable Nosecone and will be returned again stowed inside the nosecone after completion of Dragon Mission. It took just six months for the cupola from proposal, testing to 1st operational mission. It is not into discrete units like the ISS Cupola but a single monolithic glass structural hemispheric bowl.[1] It thus provide 360 degree field of view which will be fascinating for the crew aboard the dragon.It is the largest single-piece window ever flown to space that happened on Inspiration4 launches in september.[2]

SpaceX has also installed a custom camera inside the retractable nosecone the dome is also stowed inside it during ascent and reentry. In just the right alignment, the camera will take photos of Dragon’s four astronauts, Earth, space, and the stars.
