About RPPI
Bringing transparency to the $15B+ orbital launch market through trusted price benchmarks and data.
Our Mission
The Rocket Payload Price Index (RPPI) exists to create transparency in the orbital freight market. As satellite rideshare launches have become commoditized, operators and investors need reliable price data to make informed decisions. RPPI provides a trusted, independent benchmark that can serve as the foundation for hedging, trading, and market analysis.
Why We Built RPPI
Price Discovery
Launch prices have historically been opaque. RPPI aggregates data from multiple sources to provide a clear market view.
Risk Management
With a reliable index, operators can hedge their launch costs, reducing exposure to price volatility.
Market Growth
Standardized pricing enables new financial products and brings institutional capital to the space economy.
Industry Standard
Just as Brent and WTI benchmark oil, RPPI aims to become the standard reference for orbital freight.
