ABOUT THE DESIGN:    ABOUT THE MODEL:
As the U.S. Space Shuttle approached retirement, NASA began accepting proposals for a new generation of manned spacecraft dubbed Crew Exploration Vehicles (CEVs).  Realizing that the the idea of building a fleet of reusable spacecraft had been a costly mistake, engineers went "back to the future" and proposed a simpler, cheaper "one-time-only" craft based on proven Apollo-era concepts. 

This particular 2005 design from one of America's major defense contractors was slightly larger than the 1960s-era Apollo spacecraft, its Command Module being able to carry four astronauts instead of three.  It also employed twin solar panels to generate additional power for extended spaceflights.
