Can anyone comment on the accuracy of my two examples below and, hopefully, add others?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Space X
----------------------------------------------------------------
Contract value $1.6 billion (NASA, COTS)
# of launches 12
Cost per launch $133m
Payload 6000 kg
Cost per Kg to LEO $22,222
-------------------------------------------------------------
Shuttle
-------------------------------------------------------------
Annual budget $3b
Ave # of launches per year 7 (?)
Cost per launch $426m
Payload possible 24,000kg
Possible $ per Kg to LEO $17,857
Typical payload 8,000kg (including crew)
Typical $ per kg: $53,571
-------------------------------
Delta?
Arian?
SpaceX current?
I believe that Space X listed commercial rates on its web site last year but since removed them.
Thanks in advance for your input.
