Boeing Commercial Airplanes sales and marketing regional director Rachelle Ornan said: "Designing the next-generation interior for commercial space is a natural progression. A familiar daytime blue sky scene helps passengers maintain their connection with Earth."

"We are moving into a truly commercial space market and we have to consider our potential customers, beyond Nasa, and what they need in a future commercial spacecraft interior."

With its partner Bigelow Aerospace, Boeing has highlighted the future commercial interior of the space capsule it is developing for Nasa, while Bigelow also unveiled a full-scale model of its BA 330 commercial space habitat.

Boeing commercial crew programme crew and mission operations director Chris Ferguson said: "We are moving into a truly commercial space market and we have to consider our potential customers, beyond Nasa, and what they need in a future commercial spacecraft interior."

The capsule’s interiors have been designed by the engineers from across Boeing who leveraged the company’s history in commercial and government aerospace.
