OTV Turtle 2 Space Tug. This illustration (from 1984) depicts a manned space tug returning to a space station from geostationary or lunar orbit. The vehicle passes through the Earth's atmosphere to slow down; its aeroshell is heated to thousands of degrees by kinetic friction. The small cylinder is the crew module.

Project 921 Station The larger 20 tonne station module originally planned for 921-2. With the cancellation of the new launch vehicle planned to launch it, this has been replaced with a smaller 12 tonne module that can be lofted by the CZ-2E(A) launch vehicle.
