In an era of reusable rockets and near-daily access to space, NASA is still paying more than it did 30 years ago to launch missions into orbit, according to a study soon to be published in the scientific journal Acta Astronautica.
Launch is becoming more routine. Every few days, SpaceX is sending another batch of Starlink Internet satellites to orbit, and other kinds of missions fill up the rest of SpaceX’s launch schedule. SpaceX, alone, has ample capacity to launch the handful of science missions NASA puts into space each year. If supply outpaces demand, shouldn’t prices go down?
It’s not so simple. NASA is one of many customers jockeying for a slot on SpaceX’s launch manifest. The US military is launching more missions than ever before, and SpaceX is about to become the Pentagon’s top launch provider. SpaceX already launches more missions for NASA than any other rocket company.
