Launch vehicles and spacecraft compared by payload and cost.
Here you compare the vehicles – cargo launch systems and passenger spacecraft. The page is meant for comparison: it helps you judge which providers can cover your needs. You do not book an individual vehicle but capacity with a provider – the provider itself assigns the matching vehicle. Specific flights and dates are listed under “Missions”; you submit a request using the button above.
How to use the vehicle comparison
Cargo launch systems
For each launch system you see the payload per target orbit, from low Earth orbit and geostationary orbit to the Moon and Mars, plus launch fee, price per kilogram, reusability and the provider's launch sites.
Passenger spacecraft
For passenger flights, the comparison shows maximum altitude, number of seats, price per seat, flight duration and time in weightlessness. Suborbital, orbital and balloon flights can be set side by side.
Compare and request
Put several vehicles side by side and compare them value by value. If a system fits your project, request capacity from the provider; the provider assigns the specific vehicle.
Vehicle classes and technical data
The catalogue covers orbital and suborbital launch vehicles, space capsules, spaceplanes, cargo spacecraft, orbital transfer vehicles, landers and balloons for flights to the stratosphere. Each vehicle comes with technical data such as height, diameter, liftoff mass, thrust, number of stages, propellant and year of first flight. Cargo launch systems and passenger spacecraft are shown in separate views so that only comparable values stand side by side.
