SO COOL to finallly see a Vehicle use an Inflatable heatshield. and omg it's so much more massive than i though it would be. those channels that run all along the ship make more sense now you've shown it's inflated state!

Airbag reentry, cool!

Ich bin schon sehr gespannt auf die Täglichen Einsatzes des Raumschiffes😊 Deutschland wir sind sehr stolz auf unsere schöne Raumfahrt

Awesome Video and Project! Can‘t wait to see this in Action!

I would love to work with you guys on those future defining projects 😊❤

I think to find the right place to apply is the first small filter.. good luck though!

Oh good. Hopefully it's ready in 25 years

Schönes Video :)

WOW, gut gemacht, so kommen wir in der Raumfahrt voran, super Umsetzung mit dem Hitzeschild. Wann soll Argo einsatzbereit sein? WOW, well done, this is how we are making progress in space exploration, great implementation with the heat shield. When will Argo be ready for use?

[@debott4538]

Looking impressive. And much larger than initially thought. Are there plans for a specific launcher that is big enough for Argo? From Europe, only the Ariane 6 comes to mind. Or is RFA working on a successor to the RFA1? Maybe an over-seas launch provider? Thanks! :)

whats the reentry concept?

Spread the message to the world. Germany is in the game!

[@abhishekmahanta1112]

Atleast concept is cool.

[@KsNewSpace]

What I wonder is does this mean you will utilize existing launch technology or that you will develop a bigger rocket? Will Argo fly on Ariane 6?

@@user-wq7wf6in1lthe RFA1 is too small for this, it's a bit bigger than Electron, but much smaller than Falcon 9. Until they build a RFA2 with bigger engines that they don't have yet, they'd have to fly on Ariane or Falcon.

Anyone know what fuel its using? Everyones using CH4/O2, but I think I read somewhere that these people want to go more green.

[@15Redstones]

This is using storable propellants. The propellants used here are "green" in comparison with ultra toxic hydrazine like on Dragon.

[@user-wq7wf6in1l]

​ @15Redstones what do you mean 'storable propellants'? like long-term storables?

the only truly 'green' propelent i can think of would be decomposing laughing gas, but that has really low isp
