TPK (Transport piloted spacecraft)

TPK (Transport Piloted Spacecraft) refers to a spacecraft designed to safely carry humans between Earth and space destinations like space stations or lunar outposts. Equipped with life support systems, navigation controls, and safety measures, it allows astronauts to travel, conduct missions, and return home. TPKs are built for reliability, reusability, and operational efficiency, enabling routine crew transportation while ensuring safety. They are essential for human space exploration, supporting scientific research, construction of infrastructure, and future missions beyond Earth orbit.
