For the trade union, see Confederation of Cameroon Trade UnionsCSTS or ACTS (Crew Space Transportation System and Advanced Crew Transportation System respectively) is a crew transportation system which is jointly studied by the European Space Agency (ESA), the Roskosmos Russian Space Agency (eventually in replacement of the Kliper project) and lately the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), with the objective to design a spacecraft for LEO operations such as servicing the International Space Station but also capable of exploration of the Moon and beyond. This study was conceived as a basic strategic plan to keep a viable European human space program alive because NASA officials have announced that NASA's Vision for Space Exploration Orion spacecraft will be developed without participation of international partners. According to press releases and ESA official Manuel Valls, JAXA has recently joined the European-Russian cooperation. CSTS is currently in an initial study phase, which shall last for 18 months from September 2006 to spring 2008. The outcome of the study is planned to be presented to the ESA full member state conference in late 2008.
