The Space Transportation System (STS) was a proposed system of reusable manned space vehicles envisioned by NASA in 1969 to support extended operations beyond the Apollo program. As Apollo accomplished its objective political support for further manned space activities began to wane, which was reflected in unwillingness of the Congress to provide funding for most of these extended activities. Based on this, President Nixon rejected all parts of the program except the Space Shuttle which inherited the STS name. RR Auction COA.
