The General Materials Argo Alpha segment is designed as a command module capable of performing reentry. This is a truncated hexagonal pyramid 2.5 meters on each side, and 3 meters in height. A docking interface forms a fat ring with 3.2 meters of outer diameter and 0.6 meters tall on the top of the capsule. The parachutes and other equipment for re-entry are stowed in the circumferential ring of this cylinder, and there is a diameter of 2 meters of clearance through the hatch. There is a total of 8 cubic meters of habitable volume inside the capsule, or 95 cubic feet for each of the three crew members (compare to a total of 5.9 cubic meters or 70 cubic feet for each of the astronauts in the Apollo Command Module). Total mass at launch is 9,370 kg (compare to the Orion Crew Module at 10,400 kg).

The Argo Beta Segment manufactured by General Materials has a fairing of 0.5 meters in height to account for the ablative reentry shielding of the Alpha Segment. The main body of the Beta Segment is 5 meters tall and is a hexagonal prism 2.5 meters on each side. The exhaust nozzle is 2.5 meters tall. Propellant is hypergolic (self-igniting) similar to the Orion spacecraft. Mass of the Beta Segment is 23,000 kg. The Argo spacecraft, when configured with an Alpha Segment as the command module and a Beta Segment as a service module has a mass of 32,370 kg. The second stage Gamma Segment is 12 meters tall excluding the 3 meter nozzles, which are protected by a fairing that adapts the diameter of this segment with the first stage Delta segment (yet another hexagonal prism) which is 3.5 meters on each side. Liquid oxygen mass in Gamma Segment = 55,714 kg, volume = 48.8 m³. Liquid hydrogen mass = 9,286 kg, volume = 130.8 m³.

The Argo Delta Segment is a hexagonal prism with sides of 3.5 meters. Liquid oxygen mass = 357,500 kg, volume = 313.3 m³. Additional length accounts for the intertank structure, the nine engines, their plumbing, and struts to transfer thrust to the rest of the rocket. With 19 meters for the first stage, 15 meters for the second stage, a 0.5 meter gap between the second stage and the Beta segment, 2.5 meters for the Beta nozzle, 5.5 meters for the Beta segment proper, and 3.5 meters for the Alpha segment, the vehicle is 46 meters tall at launch, not counting the contingency escape mechanism used in crewed launches. Mass at liftoff: Alpha Segment (9,370 kg) + Beta Segment (23,000 kg) total = 32,370 kg. Argo Gamma Segment (Second Stage) = 8,125 kg (dry) + 65,000 kg (propellant) for a total of 73,125 kg. Argo Delta Segment (First Stage) = 35,000 kg (dry) + 495,000 kg (propellant) for a total of 530,000 kg. The total mass of the Argo launch vehicle stack at liftoff would be approximately 635,500 kilograms.

Argo vehicle total weight = 635,495 kg * 9.81 m/s² = 6,234,206 N. Total thrust = 845,000 N/engine * 9 engines = 7,605,000 N. Thrust to weight ratio = 7,605,000 N / 6,234,206 N ≈ 1.22. Argo Delta Segment burn time = 495,000 kg / 2,720 kg/s Burn Time = 182 seconds. Argo Gamma Segment burn time = 65,000 kg / 237 kg/s = 274 seconds. Mass to LEO for the Argo launch vehicle approximately 35,000 kg. The design is capable of launching the 32,370 kg Argo spacecraft into LEO, providing performance margin of over 2,600 kg. The Argo Heavy 4-Core variant uses four hexagonal Delta Segments in a Y configuration as clustered first stages. Total delta-vee with the Argo spacecraft as payload: 2,850 m/s (Boosters) + 3,350 m/s (Center Core) + 6,650 m/s (Upper Stage) = 12,850 m/s, exceeding the 12,600 m/s required for translunar injection. Mass to LEO for the Argo Heavy 4-Core launch vehicle = 115,000 kg. The Argo Heavy 4-Core could place a fully fueled Gamma segment in LEO, plus additional payload.

In 1949 General Materials created the GenMat television network in a bid to drum up sales of their high end television sets like the Stargazer “𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 … 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘥!” On Saturday evenings at 8 pm GenMat aired a half-hour program called 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭 𝘈𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘺 using a three camera setup and 35mm film, but no live audience. Each episode had twenty-three minutes of content, starting with a one minute thirty second cold open. The title theme and credits and sponsor billboard followed for one minute. Act 1 was eight minutes. The first commercial break was two minutes. Act 2 was eight minutes thirty seconds. The second commercial break was another two minutes. Act 3 wrapped things up in 5 minutes. This was followed by the end credits and a sponsor plug lasting one minute thirty seconds, then a half minute network ID and promotion of the next week’s episode. The total running time for non-content was seven minutes
