Abstract
We present first results from a monitoring campaign of GRS 1915+105 underta ken with the USA X-ray timing experiment on the ARGOS satellite. A variety of behaviour has been observed, ranging from low, steady X-ray emission to rapid quasi-periodic flaring on timescales of approximately 10-120 seconds.
