   document gives some previously estimated costs for a human mission to Mars, cites the costs of earlier human missions such as Apollo and the International Space Station (ISS), and then derives an independent cost estimate using historical data. The cost of life support for the Mars mission is discussed.

   In general, the best way to estimate costs is by direct analogy with the past costs of similar missions. Most of the estimates given here were made using cost estimation methods that are based on past mission data. NASA’s human relevant human missions are the International Space Station (ISS), space shuttle, and Apollo.

   The cost of the Mars life support system could easily be the same or even more than that of the ISS system The ISS life support can provide for more than the three or four US crew on ISS, so it could be easily scaled down to one half the ISS size. On the other hand, a Mars mission will require two life support systems both able to support the full ...

   The best and most realistic way to estimate project cost is by using comparisons to earlier similar projects. Professional cost estimating models use parametric cost estimating relationships, which relate cost to measurable cost drivers such as mass, number of systems produced, and technical difficulty. The estimates produced by comparison to pas...

   Jul 29, 2020 · Compared to NASA’s other Mars missions, Perseverance ranks as the 3rd most expensive behind Viking—a Cadillac-level Mars project consisting of 2 orbiter-landers launched by 2 rockets—and MSL Curiosity, which missed its original launch window, causing significant cost-growth.

   • Launch Services (Atlas V 541): $243 million
   • Spacecraft Development: $2.2 billion

   • Prime Mission Operations (2 years): $300 million
   • Total: $2.725 billion

   How much does a Mars mission cost?

   • According to NASA, the mission is expected to cost $2.9 billion. The hefty price tag makes Perseverance the third most expensive Mars mission, trailing Viking 1 & 2, and the Curiosity rover from 1975 and 2011, respectively. NASA has since released the results of its first-ever agency-wide economic impact report.

   How much did NASA spend on Mars?

   • NASA had produced another cost estimate of $541 billion for 34 years of lunar and Mars operations, also roughly split in half. After this, the media often reported that the costs of Bush’s plan were either $400-$500 billion, or $400-$550 billion.

   How much will NASA spend on Mars sample return?

   • This week, the House and Senate appropriations committees finalized a deal that would grant a minimum of $300 million for the Mars Sample Return mission, which is managed by JPL. That’s a steep drop from the $822.3 million NASA spent on the program last year, and less than one-third of what the Biden administration requested.

   How much does Mars life support cost?

   • Mars life support operations cost The Mars operations costs will be relatively smaller since the total mission duration is roughly 3 years, not 15 years as for ISS. The operations cost estimate is 0.0401 $B/$B-year, based on development cost and mission length.

   How long does a Mars mission take?

   • A long stay Mars mission requires about three years, six to eight months out, eighteen or so on the surface, and six to eight months back. It is interesting that the cost factors and the three year Mars mission duration result in a cost breakdown of 73% development, 18% launch, and 9% operations.
