Bringing transparency to the $15B+ orbital launch market through trusted price benchmarks and data.
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.
Launch prices have historically been opaque. RPPI aggregates data from multiple sources to provide a clear market view.
With a reliable index, operators can hedge their launch costs, reducing exposure to price volatility.
Standardized pricing enables new financial products and brings institutional capital to the space economy.
Just as Brent and WTI benchmark oil, RPPI aims to become the standard reference for orbital freight.
