New Armadillo Aerospace video

Armadillo Aerospace has posted a nice video of their activities this past year.  The video was prepared by Matt Ross  for Space Access 2010.  Space Access is an annual meet-up of commercial space insiders.  A NASA moves toward heavier reliance on commercial services Space Access is seeing growth as ever bigger players pay attention.

Some of the highlights of the film are seeing, Armadillo's stalwart performer, pixel fly again.  It has indeed been converted to Methane/Lox and sold to NASA.  And some concepts of a larger quad vehicle sporting a manned capsule.

Some quick dimensions grabbed from the video for the new quad are; 100 inches wide and eight feet tall for the capsule.  It is not clear if those are internal or exteral dimensions.  It appears as though they are going from a 3ft tank to a 4ft tank giving 2.37 times the fuel and lox capacity.  There does not appear to be any helium pressurization tank in the design from the simple drawings shown.  They will probably end up in any final design however.
