This is a view from the mezzanine looking aft at the Pisces V about to enter the hangar This photo shows the Pices V entering the hangar. The mezzanine is seen in the upper right

Air Castle

This area provides a central location for the damage control locker. CTD' s are both deployed and retrieved from this space. Access to the Straza Tower is available here, and provisions are made for use of the gangway from this level. Unfortunately, at this point we do not have a photo. There will be one in the near future.

Here is a view of one of the staterooms on the 01 deck. The bunk structure is typical of most staterooms. The door on the left leads to a shower and toilet shared with the adjacent cabin. This is another view of a typical stateroom. Each room has a sink, and two hanging storage lockers with drawers underneath. There is also a small refrigerator beneath one of the lockers.
