Methodology for Calculation of the Cost of Launch of Space Rockets for Introducing Remote Sensing Satellites of the Earth's Surface Into Orbit

The purpose of research is to improve the methodology for calculating the cost of launching space rockets for launching satellites for remote sensing of the earth's surface into orbit.

Methods. The article provides a systematic analysis of the characteristics of modern domestic space rockets (RKN) of various classes known in the open literature and approaches to calculating the cost of their launch in the interests of launching satellites for remote sensing of the earth's surface into orbit.

Results. The capabilities of domestic ILVs of light, medium and heavy classes for launching payloads into various types of orbits are analyzed. The relevance of creating a promising medium-class ILV capable of launching a payload weighing from 8 to 17 tons with a competitive unit cost of its launch into low Earth orbit is shown. It is noted that the unit cost of launching the payload is directly related to the cost of launching the ILV.

Conclusion. In the proposed method for calculating the cost of launching the ILV, the shortcomings inherent in already existing methods are excluded. This technique can be used both to develop algorithms, models and methods for calculating the cost of launches of IL Vs of various classes, and to assess the effectiveness of their application of IL Vs for their intended purpose.
