In the price list of SpaceX appeared the line "Delivery of cargo to Mars"
The company SpaceX has published a price list with fixed prices for lifting cargo with Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets , starting from 2018.
The standard fixed tariff for launching the Falcon 9 launch vehicle is $ 62 million, for Falcon Heavy - $ 90 million.
The maximum payload of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy is listed in the price list. For low Earth orbit it is 22.8 and 54.4 tons, respectively. For a geotransmission orbit - 8.3 and 22.2 tons. Cargo to Mars - 4.02 and 13.6 tons. To Pluto - 2.9 tons .
It is assumed that when delivering cargo to Mars, Pluto or to another place, the launch vehicle raises not only the payload, but also the spacecraft, which tows the cargo from the earth to the target orbit. For example, such an apparatus for delivering the Curiosity rover to Mars weighed several tons. It also requires fuel to accelerate and decelerate it.
At the conclusion of a contract for several launches are provided "moderate" discounts.
The standard Falcon 9 tariff is valid for lifting up to 5.5 metric tons of cargo to a geotransfer orbit, for Falcon Heavy - up to 8 metric tons.
SpaceX also offers services for the delivery of astronauts to the ISS or to an arbitrary point of low Earth orbit.
