The State of Play – US Space Systems Competitiveness

Prices, productivity, and other measures of launchers and spacecraft

“The State of Play” reports on US space systems’ competitiveness. It brings together data on launchers and spacecraft, including flight rates, development costs, and cost per flight. On costs, breakdowns go into specific costs from prime contracts to non-prime support to government management for the entire system, flight, and ground. NASA budget data across decades is included, also with a breakdown of NASA projects and programs.
