#N4 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).
