NASA to Slash Space Probe Costs With New Rocket Systems
NASA aims to cut launch costs by adopting a three stage Thor-Delta system and Vega and Centaur rockets. The Thor-Delta would deliver 20 pound payloads to 300 miles at about 3000 per pound, while Vega and Centaur promise larger payloads at reduced costs. Centaur could place 730 pounds on the moon, enabling lunar instrumentation with future deep space probes. High cost remains a barrier for Jupiter C Sargent based designs, prompting budget reductions.
