Summary Table – Falcon 9
Scenario Estimated Savings
Per-launch savings ~$20–25M (30–50%)
List price reduction (max) ~$37M (≈40%)
Internal per-launch cost $15–28M with reused booster
Break-even point 2 flights reuse
Boosters reused (~30 flights) $450M saved, 70–80% reduction
Fairing reuse Additional multi-million savings
Starship (Full Reusability, Next Gen)
Starship is designed for full reusability of both stages. SpaceX estimates marginal launch cost could drop to 20% or less of the build cost once reuse is mature
SPACE INVESTMENTS
Long-term targets put cost per kilogram to orbit as low as $10–20, a dramatic fall compared to current levels
SPACE INVESTMENTS
Bain & Co. estimates Starship could cut payload launch costs to LEO by up to 80×
The Wall Street Journal
In Summary
Falcon 9 reuse offers substantial savings—20 to 40% per launch, with internal costs as low as $15–30 million.
Break-even on cost happens after just two flights, with significant savings from the third onward.
A single booster reused 30 times can save hundreds of millions of dollars.
Starship promises a quantum leap—full reusability and possibly 80× cost reductions per launch in the future.
燃料费用只有火箭的1%。虽然每次发射的负荷减少，燃料增加，因火箭可重复使用，发射同样多有效负载，费用还是能降低2/3以上。
北京天安门东南20公里的亦庄有一个火箭一条街 诞生在那里的可重复使用火箭将在今年迎来首飞。
北京蓝箭航天的朱雀三号火箭，2024年9月11日， 酒泉卫星发射中心，圆满完成十公里级垂直起降返回飞行试验北京箭元科技的元行者一号火箭， 2025年5月29日， 烟台东方航天港，试飞火箭回收成功。飞行高度2.5公里，顺利完成点火起飞、满推力爬升、变推力调节、发动机一次关机、自由下降滑行、发动机二次启动、减速至海面悬停、海面软着陆8个工作阶段。
这朱雀三号和元行者一号都将在今年下半年试验轨道级首飞。
