Table 1 displays the Dynamic Mass for a CM that will house 12 astronauts with no spacesuits for a little over two weeks.
Total Mass = CM1 Static Mass + CM1_12–00–16 Dynamic Mass
Total Mass = 1,577 kg + 2,414 kg
Total Mass = 3,991 kg
We will now modify the Crew Module designation by adding the mass:
CM1_06–00–16–3991
