The main stainless steel structure allows for a useable pressurized volume of almost 15.5 cubic meters both into orbit and on re-entry, making space for large and precious cargo loads.
Argo’s Inflatable Atmospheric Decelerator (IAD) allows for 4000kg up and down mass and ensures a smooth and safe re-entry, descent and landing by covering the vehicle completely while enabling steering control.
Argo is powered by our unique, re-ignitable Fenix engine, using a groundbreaking green nitromethane-based bi-propellant system to ensure maximum mission flexibility, including last-mile deliveries.
Argo’s advanced Docking and Berthing Adapter (DBA) allows for seamless rendezvous operations with space stations and the reliable execution of re-supply missions.
