Technology Stocks : Orbital science (ORB) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

price tag of Pegasus XL ?

Mohan, thank You very much for Your response.
However, as investors we should know the competitors
of ORBI as good as possible.
So, I restate my previous questions.

1) What are the (potential) competitors for Pegasus and Taurus ?

2) What is the price tag of these launch vehicles ?

3) How do the payloads compare ?

This would give us an estimate about the cost per payload for
the different launch systems and help us to gauge the future
success of ORBI.

By the way, how much does the launch business contribute to the
ORBI earnings compared to the other business units (ORBIMAGE etc.) ?

Mohan, I am sorry to bother You with my questions. I am new
to the party ...

Best regards,
Wolfgang

Mohan:
I think I remember asking this question a couple of years ago of the then VP of one of Gates' consulting firms. At the time he said that the full up teledesic vehicle would be to big to fit on an XL. Maybe by now they have been able to reduce the size and weight.
