Changes: Argo (shuttlecraft)

Revision as of 23:14, 3 April 2016

For the all-terrain buggy, please see Argo (buggy).

The Argo was a Federation Argo-type shuttlecraft that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century, attached to the USS Enterprise-E.

The Argo was designed with recessed warp nacelles and fold-down wings. These wings were designed to assist in atmospheric maneuverability.

The shuttle was equipped with an all-terrain buggy that could transport up to three passengers over rugged terrain. The buggy was secured aboard the shuttle's cargo hold via wheel clamps. The shuttlecraft could also be remote controlled from a device on the buggy.

In 2379, on its first mission, the Argo was commanded by Captain Picard. Accompanied by Worf and Data, Captain Picard successfully located and recovered the Soong-type android B-4 from the planet Kolarus III. (Star Trek Nemesis)

The Argo was designed by FX artist John Eaves. Eaves classified the Argo as a heavy transport shuttle. [1]

In Greek mythology, Argo was the ship on which Jason and the Argonauts sailed from Iolcus to retrieve the Golden Fleece.

The Argo makes an appearance in the Star Trek: Ships of the Line (2011) calendar for the month of December. In this illustration, painted by John Eaves, the Argo was on a landing vector for the main shuttlebay of the Enterprise-E.

+The '''''Argo''''' was a [[Federation]] ''Argo''-type [[shuttlecraft]] that was in service with [[Starfleet]] in the late [[24th century]], attached to the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-E|-E}}.
+The ''Argo'' was designed with recessed [[warp nacelle]]s and fold-down wings. These wings were designed to assist in [[atmosphere|atmospheric]] maneuverability.
-The [[Argo]] is a new class of [[shuttle]] assigned to the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)|''Enterprise''-E]]. When in flight, it has fold-down wings that assist with manouverability in atmospheres.  It is equipped with a rapid-transport buggy that can transport upto five passengers over rugged terrain.
+The shuttle was equipped with an [[Argo (buggy)|all-terrain buggy]] that could transport up to three passengers over rugged terrain. The buggy was secured aboard the shuttle's cargo hold via [[wheel]] clamps. The shuttlecraft could also be remote controlled from a device on the buggy.

+In [[2379]], on its first mission, the ''Argo'' was commanded by [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard|Picard]]. Accompanied by [[Worf]] and [[Data]], Captain Picard successfully located and recovered the [[Soong-type android]] [[B-4]] from the [[planet]] [[Kolarus III]]. ({{film|10}})
-The buggy itself is driven out of the back of the [[Argo]], straight into action.  It has special tyres and soft suspension that let it grip and turn with ease on rocky or sandy terrains. It has a tubular framework that is very flexible, yet strong. ''[[Jean-Luc Picard|Captain Picard]] evidently enjoyed driving the buggy, and, in fact, after filming, [[Patrick Stewart]] asked if he could take the buggy home, but was not allowed.''

-The buggy is armed with a rear-mounted, high power [[phaser cannon]] that is operated by one of the rear passengers.  It has a dashboard-mounted display console, comprising a scanner and a remote control device for sending commands to the [[Argo]].  In fact, the [[Argo]] can be launched and totally controlled from the buggy if the situation is required.

-The buggy also has storage spaces for equipment (one between the two front passengers, and a large space at the back of the buggy). ''There is at least enough space in the front space to store a [[Soong-type]] android head, and enough space in the back to store the rest of it.''

-Although it is not recommended, the buggy can be driven at very high velocities, and can withstand most bumps and impacts with little damage.
-When the buggy is received by the [[Argo]], wheel clamps hold it in place inside the shuttle.
