Doesn't exist in open literature. The only way is to find the Antares cost.

You are assuming that NASA paid for all the work covered under that modification... as Sportin' Life would have said...

We were trying to get an approximate estimation of a "bare" price for launch. I.e. no integration, a single launch analysis, etc. Or the complete package.
An you think anyone from Orbital will give you the internal costing data?
You have the base pricing for the 787?
An you think anyone from Orbital will give you the internal costing data? The odds for the frog making it to orbit are better.Edit: I'm not trying to be mean, but that's internal financial data that any launch provider would have kittens if the actual data was in the open. Interesting that Antonio's pointed out NASA may not have paid for everything. I suspect if he provided those numbers instead of the frog he would be in the flame trench come November.
That is the list price for the 787, something no one pays. It is often estimated that most of the early 787 adopters paid close to half that. A few of Export-Bank loans that have been published have indicate the "sale" price was closer to $100-$130 million. Some have estimated Air India actually paid a bit less than $100 million.Which my point, the list price is not the real price and is not what it costs Boeing to produce a 787, nor is it the fully burdened cost to Boeing.Rockets are just as murky.
I know that the contract is worth $1.9 billion for 8 missions to ISS, or $238 million per mission. But I'm trying to find the split between the two vehicles within the $238 million figure.
