| Finalists For TROPICS Mission |
The Silicon Greybeard has a fine post up about rockets and spaceflight. This picture (above) caught my eye, or rather the numbers that go with it. NASA solicited bids for a satellite launch for next year. Three companies bid. Their proposed launch vehicles are shown in the picture above. The Astra Rocket 3 was the winning bid at $8 million dollars. How much did the other guys want? Rocketlab's Electron bid was higher, but SpaceX's bid was also $8 million dollars. How about them potatoes?
