Transparent Pricing
We also offer single-spacecraft dedicated launch services
Single-spacecraft dedicated launch services will depend on the cost of Range Use Fees and launch insurance, which varies by payload, mission type and launch range. This price includes the services listed above.
Note: The single spacecraft deployed from the launch vehicle may itself deploy secondary payloads. In this case, the customer is solely responsible for those payloads, integration into the primary spacecraft, testing, checkout and deployment. We will not be responsible or liable for the successful deployment of those payloads and will not provide support services for those payloads unless agreed to in advance.
Reservation for Non-profits and Academic Institutions
We anticipate that not all of our launches will be fully manifested. As part of our mission to support the research and educational community, we are offering those opportunities, on a space-available basis, to registered non-profit organizations and academic institutions at or below cost. For us, this is a better option than adding dead ballast to the deployer to meet mission mass requirements.
Launch opportunities will be offered on a “standby” basis, with no guarantee of a particular launch date. Please contact us if your organization is interested in these opportunities.
50% down payment at the time of order placement and 50% upon delivery
The standard payment structure for CubeSat hardware is 50% down payment at the time of order placement and 50% upon delivery.
We understand that many customers, especially startup companies and academic institutions may require more flexible payment plans.
We are happy to accommodate our customers’ needs and support their successful missions and will negotiate alternative terms when necessary.
We are committed to providing a complete up-front price disclosure for our customers to the fullest extent possible. The pricing matrices below are based on both industry average prices and our low-cost innovations to be competitive against all other launch providers. Pricing includes, without exception, all of the services listed below and we guarantee no hidden, undisclosed, or extra fees for those listed services.
We also plan to offer launch services for 12U and 24U CubeSats in the future as well as unique form factors. We have not finalized a pricing structure for those missions, which will require different deployer hardware and other modifications. Please contact us if you are interested in 12/24U CubeSat launch opportunities.
