Project Argosy Dress Rehersal

Work-in-progress on the Argosy Interplanetary vehicle. This was Werner von Braun's refinement of a 1968 Boeing study. von Braun reduced the mass by a third, and redesigned the mission so the entire Argosy craft could be reinserted into low Earth Orbit after the mission, so it could be re-provisioned and reused. This scene takes place in cislunar space, as the vehicle is put through its paces in a shake-down flight to the moon. I'm nearly finished with texturing and surfacing, so I wanted to take her out for a spin.

Lightwave 10. Thanks for looking!
