Polaris Dawn
« on: September 15, 2024, 11:56:48 PM »
Does anyone have any information about the modifications to the Dragon Capsule for this mission?

I get the impression there must have been at least two cameras, one of them on some sort of boom to allow the longer shots of the astronauts in the hatch, and possibly a light with the camera? But my (fairly brief) searching hasn't uncovered anything.

Thank you!

I think one camera was mounted on the folded back nose cone.

Have to confess after all the hype it was a bit under-whelming.
