This marked the first NASA Crew Trial, which is one of two such tests
SpaceX has to do on a prototype Dragon crew cabin. As small is the
Dragon spacecraft appears from the outside, it appears remarkably roomy
on the inside. As you can see in the photograph, seven crewmembers can
be comfortably seated inside the capsule.
Each of the seats in the Dragon capsule crew configuration can hold
an adult up to 6’5″ tall and weighing up to 250 pounds. Each of the
seats also has a liner that is custom fit for each of the crewmembers.
SpaceX says with the crew seated inside the Dragon, there is space for
three more people to stand to help with launch preparations. In fact,
the Dragon is so large that it could hold the entire three-person
Russian Soyuz capsule descent module inside its pressure vessel.
