It's a rocket. They're reporting that they have a new improved rocket that can lift satellites to orbit.

Which is an impressive sort of thing, but the article wants to be vague about it for awhile, as if you're gonna think they've come up with an electromagnetic catapult or something. It's a rocket. If it works, that's potentially terrific.

> It's a rocket.

That actually answers the first and only question I had after reading the headline.

But what about the clicks my dude!

Why, if the title gave away the story they might have to actually pay a journalist to write compelling information about this story!

Aww I was hoping for something like a t-shirt cannon

It's not a rocket, it's a piece of paper. It's a contract for the development of a prototype of a rocket. And yet this piece of paper is the basis for President Fernandez's boast, “We are proud to be one of the ten countries in the world with the capacity to put satellites into orbit." Note the present tense. Note the plural. Remember the proverb about counting your chickens before they've hatched.

Surely it’s at least a 3D render of a rocket? Who even uses paper?

I was thinking large slingshot.

Thanks. I skimmed the article and, after a thousand words of nothing, it only gives model numbers. It only eludes to what they are.
