SpaceX lists the price for a dedicated Falcon 9 launch at 74 million dollars in 2026, according to reports by shattered.io and KeepTrack. Shattered.io and New Space Tracker reported that the list price rose in early 2026 from a previous figure of 69.75 million dollars. [1][2]
Shattered.io reported that the 74 million dollar figure features in 2026 comparison tables from Cosmic Herald and SpaceNexus. KeepTrack also confirmed the same 74 million dollar launch price. Shattered.io noted that this figure is what SpaceX charges a paying customer for a dedicated mission rather than what the company spends internally to operate the flight. [1][2]
Space launch market competition involves market forces having a greater influence on launch purchasing than traditional political considerations. Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have flown 712 times as of October 23, 2026, achieving 709 full mission successes alongside two launch failures, one pre-launch failure, and one partial failure. [3][5]
Shattered.io noted that the 74 million dollar list price serves as an anchor for most of the commercial space launch market. [1]
