SpaceShipOne Cockpit Reference

[BHawthorne]

I thought I'd post a bunch of SS1 cockpit detail pics I'm using for reference for my simpit build. I'll be using these to help in my CAD drawings of the simpit. These are screen caps from the NASM SS1 cockpit Quicktime VR located at: http://www.nasm.si.edu/exhibitions/gal100/ss1.htm

The GPS used in SS1 is the Garmin GPSMAP 295. The link below is to the Germin website where they have downloadable manuals.

I'm still digging around for information on the other glass cockpit instruments.

This is the oxygen regular I'll use in my simpit build. I had it sitting around in a box. It's close enough to the one SS1 uses for my needs.

I wonder if Garmin kept saying "Turn left in 52 miles" :lol:

hehe, maybe that's why they had that rotation problem on the first flight. :rofl:

I can't believe they just strapped in a Garmin GPS unit... that's great. Talk about 'off the shelf'.

Yep, it's amaising just how much of the SS1 cockpit is just COTS equipment, It's the main reason why I picked it for a build. I can readily find resource material and info about everything and buy most of it used via ebay.
