Is Argus a typical model? www.iafastro.com/archives/pap02/ Aabst/IAC-02-V.P.10.pdf says a 256.3 MT Argus or a 218.6 MT pure tanker Argus could deliver 9.07 MT to LEO. If there were 320 flights/year either version could provide LEO fuel at $375/kg. Is 320 flights a year what is hoped for? That'd be a launch most every day (excepting Sundays).
