CSTS: Art & Regions

Crew Space Transportation System (CSTS), originally Advanced Crew Transportation System (ACTS), was a proposed design for a crewed spacecraft for low Earth orbit operations such as servicing the International Space Station, but also capable of exploration of the Moon and beyond. It was a joint project between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the…
