Constellation program: Measurement, Missions & Designs

The Constellation program (abbreviated CxP) was a crewed spaceflight program developed by NASA, the space agency of the United States, from 2005 to 2009. The major goals of the program, in which no crewed missions flew before its cancellation, were "completion of the International Space Station" and a "return to the Moon no later than 2020" with a crewed…
