#ESA’s disclosure marks the first public indication of #Ariane 62 launch pricing, enabling a more direct comparison with other launch systems such as #Falcon9 (which can lift roughly twice the payload of Ariane 62 to #LEO).

@europeanspaceflight
#Ariane62 "€82 million" vs. €100 million ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariane_6
#Falcon9 "€90 million" vs. US$ 69.85 million ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_9

#LaunchCost #accounting

It was a fucking test flight, people. Settle down! Settle.
