Не. Правильно смотреть не по затратам, а по упущенной выгоде: 62 ляма за пуск полноценной нагрузки на этой же ракете.

ну СпХ решили что им выгодно запустить этот Paz
может это акция только сегодня, только ушедшим с роскосмоса 90% скидка
может испанцы заплатили 62 ляма
может СпХ взяло хамоном

главное что никто никого не заставлял.
никто не давил на Пазовцев где пускать, никто не давил на СпХ вы должны в рамках соц помощи
 
так что вы за них не волнуйтесь про их упущенную выгоду )

Не стали бы они платить больше, чем обошлось бы на Веге. Тем более, уже потеряв аванс в топке Космотрас. Тем более, с попутной нагрузкой, которую SpaceX нужно запустить для сохранения лицензии FCC.

Now targeting February 18 launch of PAZ from SLC-4E to allow for additional time for pre-launch systems checks. Falcon 9 and payload remain healthy.

It's going to a SSO coordinated with other already-launched satellites, so the launch time will change a bit.

Live coverage: Launch of Spanish radar observation satellite delayed to Sunday
February 16, 2018 Stephen Clark

Updated: 02/16/2018 08:46

SpaceX has pushed back the launch of a Spanish radar observation satellite from California by 24 hours until Sunday, officials announced late Thursday.

The instantaneous launch opportunity Sunday will come at 6:16 a.m. PST (9:16 a.m. EST; 1416 GMT) from Space Launch Complex 4-East at Vandenberg Air Force Base, a military-run spaceport on the Pacific coastline northwest of Los Angeles.

SpaceX announced the one-day delay on Twitter, saying it will "allow for additional time for pre-launch systems checks."

The company said the Falcon 9 rocket and its payload remain healthy.

The primary passenger aboard the 229-foot-tall (70-meter) Falcon 9 rocket is Paz, a Spanish-owned radar-equipped Earth observation satellite designed to peer through clouds and darkness to capture high-resolution views of cities, landscapes and oceans.

With a launch weight of roughly 3,200 pounds (1,450 kilograms), Paz measures more than 16 feet (5 meters) long and 8 feet (2.5 meters) in diameter. It is the largest satellite ever assembled in Spain, according to Alfonso Martínez, Paz project manager at the spacecraft's prime contractor, Airbus Defense and Space, which constructed Paz in Madrid.

Paz is owned by Hisdesat, which oversees satellite operations for the Spanish government.

The $200 million (160 million euro) mission will produce radar imagery for the Spanish military and other governments, plus commercial clients .

"It's a very flexible mission," said Miguel Angel García Primo, Hisdesat's chief operating officer, in an interview this week. "It's useful for a lot of applications, environmental, also for big infrastructure tracking and planning, maritime surveillance and government applications like monitoring and surveillance for any specific items that you'd like to follow."

The Falcon 9 rocket will release the Paz satellite approximately 11 minutes after launch into a 319-mile-high (514-kilometer) polar orbit tilted around 97.4 degrees to the equator.

Paz will share the orbit with two German radar satellites -- TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X -- launched in 2007 and 2010. Airbus and Hisdesat will jointly manage the commercial sales and marketing of radar data from the radar satellite constellation.

SpaceX says it will not attempt to recover the Falcon 9's first stage on Sunday's launch. The booster previously flew Aug. 24, 2017, from Vandenberg to loft the Taiwanese Formosat 5 Earth observation satellite into orbit, then landed on a SpaceX platform in the Pacific Ocean.

In addition to Paz, two secondary payloads are expected to ride into orbit aboard the Falcon 9 rocket.

The first two prototype satellites for SpaceX's planned Starlink broadband Internet network, which could eventually comprise thousands of small spacecraft, should be on the launch, according to filings with the Federal Communications Commission.

SpaceX has not confirmed the presence of the satellites on Sunday's mission.

The launch of Paz will mark the 49th flight of a Falcon 9 rocket since its debut in 2010, and the eighth Falcon 9 flight from Vandenberg. It will be the ninth rocket booster reused by SpaceX, including two recovered stages flown on the first Falcon Heavy test flight Feb. 6.

SpaceX's launch team completed a pre-flight hold-down firing of the Falcon 9 rocket Sunday at Vandenberg, and tasks this week included final encapsulation of the Paz spacecraft inside the launcher's nose shroud, followed by attachment of the satellite to the Falcon 9's upper stage.

"We've already performed the major part of the launch campaign, all the validation of the satellite," García Primo said in a phone interview earlier this week.

He said Paz was in good shape after its shipment from Madrid to Vandenberg via a cargo plane in December.

"We've done the mating with the payload adapter, and also the fueling of the satellite. The satellite has been completely fueled and pressurized. We are in a nominal situation for the launch. A couple of covers need to be removed at the very last minute for the star trackers."

Нету. Но я решительно не могу себе представить, зачем испанцам это надо.
Ситуация удивительная, в том-то и дело.

Я не волнуюсь. Я удивляюсь и хочу разобраться, в чем дело.
