Making in-space transportation abundant
About us
At Argo, we are building infrastructure for the future of space. We believe the next great leap beyond Earth requires re-imagining in-space transportation – transitioning to a new paradigm of abundant, unconstrained movement. We are untethering space operations from Earth by leveraging the moon’s shallow gravity well and accessible water resources. Argo will harvest lunar water and use it as propellant to create a true in-space transportation network. By sourcing propellant from the moon, we will provide the freedom to maneuver throughout space. This freedom will expand the possibilities for space businesses and support permanent human presence beyond Earth. Harnessing Lunar water will help usher in a new era of affordable activity in space.

Thanks to Micah Maidenberg at The Wall Street Journal for a great explanation of the near future of in-space transportation. "We should view the rocket as the cargo ship regularly coming to port, and then we should have a semi-truck that lives in space and takes that cargo everywhere else." @Robert Carlisle, CEO and Co-Founder of Argo Space. Falcon 9 revolutionized access to space. Starship and other new “cargo ships” will further increase access to low Earth orbit. Bringing multi-modal transportation to space will change every aspect of missions in space, and Argo is working to make this a reality.

We are excited to announce our award of a Direct-to-Phase II contract with SpaceWERX focused on tactically responsive on-orbit capabilities. This will support development of our refuellable, space-resident transport vehicle, the Argonaut. With this dual-use spacecraft, Argo will both provide rapid on-orbit response and logistical transport to GEO and cislunar space. To learn more about how we are building the future of in-space transportation visit www.argospace.com
SpaceWERX, in partnership with Space Safari, is pleased to announce the 19 awardees of the 2023 SpaceWERX Tactically Responsive Space Challenge! The TacRS Challenge generates cutting-edge ideas and state-of-the-art capabilities that will enable the United States Space Force to more rapidly and flexibly respond to emerging on-orbit threats by 2026. “The TacRS Challenge SBIR Direct to Phase II contracts are going to propel the U.S. Space Force toward future responsive and dynamic space operations,” said Col Erik Stockham, USSF Space Systems Command (SSC/SZA). “The future of space power requires capabilities that can respond to adversary action on tactical timelines. These innovative small businesses are developing groundbreaking approaches to employ space capabilities when and where it counts.” “The TacRS SpaceWERX Challenge shows how impactful the collaboration with our mission owners can be. We’re thrilled to have supported the TacRS program team on what is clearly going to be an impressive cohort of companies and technologies.” said Lt. Col. Vinny Pande, Chief of SpaceWERX Ventures. 232 companies submitted 302 proposals in response to the TacRS Open Innovation Challenge in Aug., a SBIR solicitation open to innovators from industry, academia, and government with solutions to solve identified problems. SpaceWERX will award up to $1.7M to each of the below SBIR Phase II companies, totaling $32.3M with a 15-month period-of-performance. ◾ Agile Space Industries, Inc. ◾ Apex Technology, Inc. ◾ Argo Space Corp. ◾ Circle Optics, Inc. ◾ Gravitics, Inc. ◾ Impulse Space, Inc. (two awards) ◾ K2 Space Corporation ◾ Map Large, Inc. ◾ PickNik, Inc. ◾ Portal Space Systems Inc. ◾ SCOUT Inc. ◾ Space Rig Systems Inc. ◾ Starfish Space ◾ Ten One Aerospace, LLC ◾ True Anomaly, Inc. ◾ Turion Space Corp. ◾ Varda Space Industries ◾ Xtenti, LLC Join us in congratulating our TacRS awardees! . . . #AFWERX #SpaceWERX #TacRS #SpaceWERXChallenge #funding #award #orbit #space #technology #innovation
