Flying coming soon
ARGOS currently operates from Mojave, California — with test launches reaching altitudes of 33 kilometers (108,000 feet). Each flight carries an evolving suite of radiation sensors, environmental monitors, and experimental telemetry packages. Our ongoing missions refine atmospheric models, validate hardware, and create opportunities for partner payloads to fly alongside.
Fly with Us
ARGOS isn’t a closed program — it’s a shared testbed. If you have a payload concept ready for flight testing, we’ll handle integration, power, telemetry, and mission logistics. You just bring the science.
Who Uses ARGOS
Startups
Sensor companies testing compact radiation, ozone, or particulate instruments before orbital deployment.
Universities
Capstone or graduate teams validating electronics in near-space conditions.
Government & Research Agencies
Short-term radiation or atmospheric validation campaigns for mission design.
