India’s space launch cost per kg highest globally: Study
A study published in Economics Letters finds India’s cost of launching payloads to low-Earth orbit is the highest among major spacefaring nations, at about $13,302 per kg. Researchers attribute this to India’s infrequent launches and reliance on smaller rockets, which limit economies of scale and prevent fixed costs from falling.
