1st #Ariane6 launch 2026 🚀 February 12 for #Amazon : $106.00 million*. #Arianespace has been contracted to perform 18 missions for Amazon’s Project #Kuiper https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/6930/
* subsidized 💶 by #European #taxpayers
RE: https://mastodon.social/@europeanspaceflight/116006673643724782
#Arianespace's annual revenues dropped from €1.4 billion a decade ago to €152 million in 2024, reporting a net loss of €24 million. With a backlog of €2.16 billion in customer advances and only €313 million in cash, the company faces significant liabilities. Recent filings showed accumulated losses over €372 million.
If Arianespace reaches the rocket’s maximum launch cadence of 10 flights per year, each flight for #Amazon would be subsidized up to €34 million 💰 by #ESA

#Arianespace will complete 18 flights for #Amazon over a three-year period aboard #Ariane 64 rockets. That means Arianespace will require 64 boosters over the next three years just to fulfill its contract obligations to Amazon https://europeanspaceflight.com/no-urgency-to-upgrade-vega-c-booster-says-esa/

#Arianespace estimated the launch price to be around $68 million. This would give it the price-per-kilo ratio of $1,511/kg (#SpaceX’s #Falcon9 sits at about $3,986/kg with a fat profit margin).
#Starship is estimated to cost $100 million a pop, but Musk estimates launch costs could drop to $10 million (or even less). How much SpaceX plans to charge customers per flight is still unclear https://spaceinsider.tech/2025/01/10/new-glenn-vs-starship-a-detailed-comparison-in-2025/
