This paper investigates the effect of spacecraft mean time to failure and spacecraft/launch vehicle launch success probability. On the annual costs associated with spacecraft launches in a satellite system. A projected system using spacecraft with years and spacecraft/launch vehicle combinations with 0.8 and with a rate of return on invested capital of 10% can reduce the annual costs of spacecraft and launch vehicles by about 18%.
