Can someone help me do some math? I’m trying to figure out the cost of doing rideshares VS riding on an Electron/LauncherOne rocket.

Electron costs $7.5 Million for 300 kilograms to a sun synchronous orbit. LauncherOne is $12 million for 500 kilograms. A Falcon 9 is $50 Million for like 15000 kilograms.

A Falcon 9 with 2 ESPA rings can carry 12 300 kilogram payloads into an SSO at a cost of $55ish million (assuming the rings cost something). That’s under $4.6 Million for each of the payloads. It totally BTFO’s Electron and LauncherOne.
