   Launch Complex 39 was renovated for the Space Shuttle program, with most of the modifications located at Launch Pads 39A and 39B. A fixed service structure was built on both launch pads, which wrapped around the Space Shuttle during launch preparations and rolled back on hinges as the launch neared.

   ntrs.nasa.gov › api › citations

   The key factor is that the space shuttle can provide cargo and crew to ISS while the Falcon 9 must also use the Dragon capsule, which adds cost and reduces payload. 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.

   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 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 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.

   How much does SpaceX cost to ISS?

   • (Wikipedia, Space Shuttle) A better cost for shuttle launch to ISS is $1.5 billion/16,050 kg = $93.4 k/kg. And the SpaceX potential payload to ISS is 6,000 kg. (Spacex.com, 2018) (Wikipedia, SpaceX Dragon) 133 million/6,000 kg = $22.2 k/kg. This shows that SpaceX provides a cost reduction to ISS by a factor of 4.
