Table 1 displays the Dynamic Mass for a CM that will house 6 astronauts with 6 spacesuits for about four weeks.
Total Mass = CM2 Static Mass + CM2_06–06–30 Dynamic Mass
Total Mass = 2,961 kg + 3,250 kg
Total Mass = 6,212 kg
We will now modify the Crew Module designation by adding the mass:
CM2_06–06–30–6212
