Space launch market competition is the manifestation of market forces in the launch service provider business. [1] In particular it is the trend of competitive dynamics among payload transport capabilities at diverse prices having a greater influence on launch purchasing than the traditional political considerations of country of manufacture or the national entity using, regulating or ...
The satellite is named Multispectral Unit for Land Assessment (MULA). [4] MULA would be the first of a "next-generation satellites" under the Philippine space program, with the team behind the satellite building on the knowledge gained in developing the Diwata and Maya nanosatellites. [5] The investment cost for the satellite is at least US$34 ...
The starting price for delivering payloads to orbit is about US$7.5 million per launch, or US$25,000 per kg, which offers the only dedicated service at this price point. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Moon Express contracted Rocket Lab to launch lunar landers (multiple launches contracted, some planned for Moon Express operations after GLXP) on an Electron to ...
The Space Force's USSF-51 launch in late 2022 was be the first national security classified mission, but in May 2021 the spacecraft was reassigned to an Atlas V to "mitigate schedule risk associated with Vulcan Centaur non-recurring design validation". [68] For similar reasons, the Kuiper Systems prototype flight was moved to an Atlas V rocket ...
The space agency said in October that the On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing 1 (OSAM-1) project continues to face an increase in costs and is expected to exceed its $2.05 billion ...
30,000 kg Orbital Launch of uncrewed satellites into Earth orbit via converted SLBM missile Shtil from the Barents Sea. Denmark: MLP Sputnik: 2010– 4 1,630 kg 8.2 km Mobile satellite launch platform operated by Copenhagen Suborbitals.
The maximum payload capacities are approximately 25,000 kg (55,000 lb) to low Earth orbit [9] (for CZ-5B) and approximately 14,000 kg (31,000 lb) to geostationary transfer orbit (for CZ-5). [10] [11] The Long March 5 roughly matches the capabilities of American NSSL heavy-lift launch vehicles such as the Delta IV Heavy.
The satellite was renamed Agila-1 and became the first satellite in orbit to be owned by the country. [20] [21] [22] MSC launched the country's second satellite, Agila-2, with the assistance of China. The communications satellite was launched through the Long March 3B at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center on August 19, 1997.
