The latest Soyuz revision is ~$50m per launch, it has a payload less than half of a Falcon 9 that lands on a droneship, and ~2/3rd of a Falcon 9 that returns to launch site. Making it twice the cost per kg. The highest flight rate it has ever achieved has been 2/month. It has a 96% success rate.
The latest Falcon 9 revision is ~$67m per launch. Lately it flies every ~3 days. Over the past year it has flown ~100 times. It has a 99.4% launch success rate, and a 98% landing success rate.
Clearly this shows that the Russians are superior.
- golol 3y ago>The latest Falcon 9 revision is ~$67m per launch And that is the price, the cost is unknown but likely lower.
- dotnet00 3y agoYeah, the internal cost is believed to be ~$30m, but I didn't compare on that number since we don't have a well known number for Soyuz's internal cost.
