Does anyone have any photos or pictures of what the interior of Orion is going to be like?

See: Lockheed Martin Exploration Development Laboratory

Of course the design of the cockpit and avionic systems are still under development so Lockheed's mock-up may have changed since last September.

When I was at JSC at the end of October last year, I had the opportunity to look inside the training mockup the astronauts have. They were still moving around computer screens to suggest to the contractor what would work best for those flying it, but it looked to be getting pretty close.

Though this video is intended for students, it does offer some insight into the human factor design of the Orion crew cabin, as well as a general overview to the Constellation Program.

The Orion Space Capsule

Well worth watching and my thanks to reader Brad MacKinnon for the referral!
