Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a payload launch cost?

Payload launch cost depends on the mission profile, payload mass, target altitude or orbit, integration requirements, and testing needs. Green Launch publicly states a target of $100 per pound for delivery to space for its orbital service concept. Sub-orbital and research missions are typically quoted based on technical scope, payload characteristics, and launch objectives rather than a flat standard fee.
