It is estimated that a single satellite launch can range in cost from a low of about $50 million to a high of about $400 million. Launching a space shuttle mission can easily cost $500 million dollars, although one mission is capable of carrying multiple satellites and send them into orbit.
The costs of using a well-tested system to launch payloads are high. Prices range from about $4,300/kg for a Proton launch to about US$ 40,000/kg for a Pegasus launch (2004). Some systems under development, such as the SpaceX Falcon Heavy, offer rates as low as $1,600/kg.or a space elevator, the cost varies according to the design. Bradley C. Edwards received funding from NIAC from 2001 to 2003 to write a paper, describing a space elevator design.
