Not that I know of. The closest thing to it I have found so far is this one:

But it's a nice one. Thanks. For more detailed stuff we probably have to wait until this thing flies manned I guess.

Not as complex as the Shuttle was in terms of piloting, aerodynamics etc. But the trips it will take are fare more adventurous

The cameras keep on working:

One thing I notice once again is that NASA somehow always manages to design very cool windows. At least to my taste I like that those of Orion will always remind me of the Shuttle in terms of the surrounding TPS. Is it the same type of HTRSI?

I'm of two minds. Actually I'm a "pilot" fanboy. In this regard the Shuttle was just completely awesome. But I also really love cone shaped capsules although they're just "falling bricks" (except during entry). Damn, can't wait to get HQ videos from inside in the future...

I hope you check out gattis's new Orion go to the VC. Really detailed and you can fly this one in 1st person and I think he''s looking into being able to remove lower seats and float around in the lower equipment bay

Years ago while working on Constellation I in a planning meeting I said we should think about adding a camera to the outside of Orion and let the people watch this in real time. these videos and pictures are just breathtaking !

Now that we see the ground track of Orion for EDL is anyone working on that with gattis new Orion ?

For those interested I am using AMSO to land a LM at different Apollo sites that were looked at in 2016. Alphonsus crater is one of them and even with then issue it's way cool to explore those new sites. I did land at Archimedes area on the side of a hill and the eva guys have a hard time walking down hill and the rover rolls down the hill but did explore a Lava Lake. I need to fine a flatter valley

Incredible!

In that first one, on the top of the SM umbilical, it says "NO STEP"... Is NASA worried about space creatures trying to climb aboard and standing on the wrong thing?
I think it's funny once placards for preflight stuff get into space and make no sense once in flight!

Those low sun-angle lunar surface pics are both amazing and foreboding at the same time.
I want to be down there on the surface!

I loved that one. Until it was beaten by Philip Sheppard...

Interesting that as the vehicle is bouncing inside the attitude deadband, the solar arrays keep turning to track the Sun.
