➤ How does satellite size affect launch options and cost?
Size and mass dictate lift requirements, fairing fit, and ride-share eligibility. Small CubeSats often fly as secondary payloads, lowering costs. Large satellites need dedicated rockets and integration, raising price. Orbit choice (LEO versus GEO) also changes propulsion needs and therefore total launch and mission cost.
