Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) delivered a prototype crew module for Dynetics' Human Landing System (DHLS), to NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC)...
This prototype is the second in a series of full-scale hardware "mockups" that the Dynetics team is developing under the HLS contract. The first mockup —the "Low-Fidelity Mockup"—was delivered to Huntsville, Alabama in August and resides at the Dynetics facility in Huntsville, Alabama. This latest version is called the "Medium-Fidelity Mockup," which reflects that its crew module contains greater functionality and is more representative of the expected flight vehicle design than its predecessor.
But does it have a round hatch or a square hatch?

At least it does not need a twenty plus foot ladder to reach the lunar surface like the other proposed lander mock-up.
