Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) and the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU) are collaborating through a Graduate Projects course on the development of a proposed cockpit architecture focused on displays, controls and layout for the Dream Chaser (DC) Orbital Vehicle. This spacecraft is being developed to safely transport crew and cargo to/from the International Space Station (ISS). The work at CU has been focused on electronic displays and controls definition based on analysis per subsystem and phases of flight. As part of this work, a functional allocation matrix and multiple trade studies were conducted in order to identify the needs of the crew throughout the mission. NASA, military specifications and SNC standards were followed and three iterations of the DC cockpit were designed and built. The latest cockpit design has evolved from a form/fit version to a functional one. It includes a computer system that allows for control of up to six electronic displays in the cockpit by the operator, which are used for conducting human factors evaluations. These evaluations have yielded recommendations on the layout of the DC cockpit.
