Starting in 📆 2025, at least two #European 🇪🇺 launch startups (#IsarAerospace and #RocketFactory Augsburg) expect to offer more choices for both institutional and commercial customers. The field will continue to widen toward the close of the decade, with #MaiaSpace, #Latitude, #HyImpulse, #HyPrSpace, #Orbex, #PLDSpace, and #Skyrora all working toward an inaugural flight of their respective vehicles. https://europeanspaceflight.com/arianegroup-already-working-to-secure-iris2-launch-contract

📊 It currently costs a client more than $60 million 💵 to launch on a #SpaceX #Falcon 9 vehicle.

In contrast, it costs some $170 million 💵 (€150 million) to launch a commercial #satellite on an #Ariane 5. #Arianespace intends to slash the #cost of launching the Ariane 6 by around 40 #percent (170x0,6 = $102 million 💵) https://www.ibtimes.com/arianespace-vs-spacex-ariane-6-rockets-will-be-40-cheaper-launch-2758492
