I suppose that as the "incumbent" Orbital had the inside track on OCO-2, even though they botched the launch of OCO-1 but still, $70 million? Particularly if this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurus_XL and the assertion that the failed launch for OCO-1 was $54 million is accurate. $54 million is probably just the rocket. The launch services contract is more than just the rocket (payload preparation too, among other things.) Brian |
