>Later in the panel, though, he suggested one way Starship could be used to disrupt the smallsat launch markets by pairing the rocket with orbital transfer vehicles, or OTVs. “With Starship, OTVs can become the best option for smallsats,” he said. If Starship is able to achieve the very low per-kilogram launch prices proposed for it, “then it will be difficult for small launch vehicles.”
>Starship’s capacity and prices, though, could affect the small launch market in other ways by encouraging satellite developers to produce bigger spacecraft. Such spacecraft, using heavier but less expensive materials, could be faster and cheaper to produce than smaller satellites.
