This particular CM variant will incorporate a flexible emergency airlock with a mass of 27 kilograms (Image 2). Astronauts will pull the airlock up to the ceiling and lock it in place.
Image 2: Flexible Emergency Airlock
Total Mass = CM1 Static Mass + CM1_06–05–29 Dynamic Mass + Emergency Airlock
Total Mass = 1,577 kg + 3,773 kg + 27 kg
Total Mass = 3,800 kg

We will now modify the Crew Module designation by adding the mass:
