   Jun 30, 2021 · Ten years ago, on 8 July 2011 Atlantis took off for the final mission of a Space Shuttle, bringing to close a programme which had lasted nearly 40 years and had cost the equivalent of $220 billion in 2021 dollars. In this post I’ll review this fascinating and unique piece of technology.

   The cost of a Falcon 9 and Dragon capsule mission to ISS is about $140 million with a payload of 6,000 kg, $23,300/kg. The shuttle payload to ISS is less than to LEO, 16,050 kg, so its cost is also higher at $93,400/kg. The launch cost to ISS has been reduced by a factor of 4.

   How much does it cost to launch a spacecraft?

   • The development of commercial launch systems has substantially reduced the cost of space launch. NASA’s space shuttle had a cost of about $1.5 billion to launch 27,500 kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), $54,500/kg. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 now advertises a cost of $62 million to launch 22,800 kg to LEO, $2,720/kg.

   How much did it cost to launch a space shuttle to ISS?

   • The space shuttle carried 27,500 kg to LEO but only 16,050 kg to ISS. (Wikipedia, Space Shuttle) The cost per kilogram for shuttle launch to ISS was $1,697 M/16,050 kg = $105.8 k/kg in current dollars using the shuttle cost from Table A2.

   How much money has NASA spent on Space Shuttles?

   • The analysis reveals that, as of the end of 2010, the space agency had spent more than $192 billion on the fleet since its inception in 1971, researchers said. That suggests that by the end of this year, which includes three more shuttle missions, NASA will have spent $196.5 billion on its storied space shuttle program.

   How has space launch cost changed over the past decade?

   • In the most recent decade, commercial rocket development has reduced the typical space launch cost by a factor of 20 while NASA’s launch cost to ISS has declined by a factor of 4. This paper reviews the history of the reduction in space launch costs, considers the reasons for the decline, and discusses the implications for space users.

   How much does a 4 to 1 space launch cost save?

   • A 4 to 1 cost reduction saves most, 75%, of the total cost. A further reduction to 10 or 20 to 1 saves 90 or 95%, but this is only a small, 15 or 20%, portion of the original cost. The recently reduced space launch cost can be expected to substantially impact human space flight.
