SpaceX Ridesharing Is Half the Price to Sun Synchronous Orbit for Small Satellites

• https://www.nextbigfuture.com by Brian Wang

This will be as low as $2.25 million per satellite for up to 150 kg of payload mass.

This will hurt satellite rideshare arranging company Spaceflight Industries and small satellite rocket providers like Rocket Labs, Virgin Orbit, and Vector.

Unlike traditional rideshare opportunities, these missions will not be dependent on a primary. These missions will be pre-scheduled and will not be held up by delays with co-passengers.

For payloads who run into development or production challenges leading up to launch, SpaceX will allow them to apply 100% of monies paid towards the cost of rebooking on a subsequent mission (rebooking fees may apply).
