Will it be able to compete at all costs wise, given its lack of reusability?
BBC mentioned it would probably be a decade before the ESA reaches that sort of technology.
Sorry for dumb question I haven’t been following space stuff at all. But I read a couple articles on yesterdays launch and was interested.
I don’t think it will have any market outside of European government contracts.
I suspect, for very large constellation projects or similar, which would be adversely affected by a launch provider abruptly stopping launches for any reason, they might want to buy a few launches for redundancy purposes – just risk mitigation.
I mean operators that aren’t Starlink, in this case.
