For example, the Falcon 9 launch vehicle’s cost per launch comes up to million, while ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) costs roughly million per launch. The size of the payloads are different as the Falcon 9 carries much heavier bulk than India’s rockets. Currently, India makes very less on commercial missions as most of them carry small or nano-satellites. Between 2013 and 2015, ISRO charged an average of million per satellite. That’s peanuts compared to a SpaceX launch, which costs million.
