The GSSF also heard from SpaceX's Christophe Bauer. The company is pioneering commercial access to space. It says it will be able to deliver a 5.3 tonne geostationary satellite to orbit for $60m by 2016. "We are also working on a reusable first stage that could bring that down to $40m," said Bauer. He showed a video of its "Grasshopper" launcher being tested, which could form the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket. The footage showed the rocket take off, rise to around 250m and then land again perfectly, exactly where it took off. The idea is that the first stage launcher could be recovered and used again, without it being dropped in the sea - which effectively wrecks it. "When introduced this could take a 2.3 tonne spacecraft to geostationary orbit, or a 5 tonne satellite to low-earth orbit, for $40m," he said. "We are the only company that states our launch prices on our web site – what you see is what you pay," he concluded.
#GSSF Spacex hope to introduce recoverable first stage "Grasshopper" rocket in 2016, promising $40m launches, up to 2.3t to geo orbit.
#GSSF Spacex $40m Falcon 9 reusable launch will also take a 5 tonne satellite to low earth orbit - available in 2016.
Czyli wychodzi na to, że Arabowie wiedzą najlepiej, co robi SpaceX?
Czyli wychodzi na to, że Arabowie wiedzą najlepiej, co robi SpaceX? Wyszłoby z tych liczb coś takiego: cena (M$) LEO (t) GTO (t)F9 1.1 (www SpaceX) 56,6 13,15 4,85F9 1.1 (Arabowie) 60 ? 5,3F9-R (Arabowie) 40 5,0 2,3
40 mln to 2/3 z 60 mln, a więc niby obniżka ceny dość znaczna. Ale przy zmniejszonych osiągach F9-R i tak koszt jednostkowy za kg (zarówno na LEO jak i GTO) będzie wyższy. Zatem nikt nie będzie chciał rakiety "reusable", bo na co mu to.
