Inside Cygnus is a poster of former NASA astronaut Francis R. "Dick" Scobee for whom the spacecraft is named after. The duo was wearing PPE after opening the hatch and entering the vehicle to protect against potential dust or debris that may have dislodged during Cygnus' launch and ascent to space.
