that's very cheap, but it doesn't seem cost effective, they plan to deploy 32 satellites per launch, I sincerely doubt that launching a rocket into space costs

that's very cheap, but it doesn't seem cost effective, they plan to deploy 32 satellites per launch, I sincerely doubt that launching a rocket into space costs less than $256,000 they'd generate per launch
- pmorici 17y agoIt doesn't really say that they are going to be the only thing on the rocket. Also note that it isn't putting them in permanent orbit so possibly that reduces the cost? This looks like the company providing the launch vehicle, http://www.interorbital.com/Neptune%20Page_1.htm http://www.interorbital.com/Neptune%20Page_1.htm
- daeken 17y agoI was thinking the same thing, but I'm wondering if this isn't subsidized by the company's other endeavors. It'd be great advertising and give them a good bit of mindshare.
- dan_the_welder 17y agoAccording to the wikipedia page, the Neptune 30 can carry 30 KG. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interorbital_Systems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interorbital_Systems Their website is terrible. It looks like something from Geocities. I went to Wikipedia to see if they were real or not.
- tome 17y agoI love the way there's a "discreet" LCD-style counter at the bottom of the page. That's very Geocities! I would have thought that a company trying to do something so glamorous would have made more effort with presentation on its website.
- dan_the_welder 17y agoSigh, so close and yet so far...........
