According to it's press release, Boeing's recent $835 million
Delta IV write-off covered 24 contracted launches, meaning (as I understand it) that the company was loosing an average of $34.8 million on each launch. The original EELV contract for Delta IV was 19 launches for $1.88 billion, including $500 million for research and development, or an average of $99 million for each launch. Does this mean that an average Delta IV mission really costs $99 million + $34.8 million = $133.8 million? - Ed Kyle |
