   I. Discussion of past Mars cost estimates The more credible seeming estimates of the cost of a human mission to Mars are within the range of the recent NRC estimate, 300 to 600 billion current dollars. The lower number reflects a delayed schedule. Table 1 lists the past announced cost estimates for a Mars mission.

   The agency’s Moon to Mars initiative supports more than 69,000 jobs, $14 billion in economic output, and $1.5 billion in tax revenue. The agency’s Moon to Mars programs provided about 22 percent of NASA’s economic impact, figures which are expected to double by the end of 2021.

   Apr 26, 2021 · By 2029, the total annual world budget dedicated to Mars missions is expected to grow at a 2.54% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), compared to a 12% CAGR for missions to the Moon. Mars-related spending is also expected to stagger throughout the decade at around 6% of total space exploration funding.

   Jul 10, 2016 · A recent estimate of the cost of the first human mission to Mars suggests that it could cost “half a trillion dollars.” This estimate is consistent with most past estimates. A similar cost number can easily be derived using mass-cost estimating factors based on the International Space Station (ISS) and other experience. Using the same cost factors and life cycle cost estimating approach ...

   Jul 29, 2020 · The project began in 2013 and its prime mission ends in 2023 (any mission extensions—while likely—are considered optional and thus additive to the life-cycle cost). The $2.7 billion project cost is the sum total of spending over these 11 years, though it is not spent evenly.

   How much would it cost to go to Mars?

   • Using the same cost factors and life cycle cost estimating approach, the cost of the life support for the Mars mission could be two billion dollars or more. The cost to go to Mars is expected to be two or three times that of either Apollo, space shuttle, or ISS and could be as much as all three together.

   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 would a Mars surface mission cost?

   • (NRC, 2014) A total current cost of 150 billion dollars for the 420 metric tons of ISS in LEO gives a cost of 0.36 billion dollars per metric ton. A Mars surface mission following DRA-5 would require 900 to 1,300 metric tons in LEO. (NRC, 2014) These 900 to 1,300 metric tons of a Mars surface mission would cost 320 to 460 billion dollars.

   How much would a Mars Long Stay mission cost?

   • (National Research Council, 2014) Price et al. present a figure showing that the Mars long stay mission would have a yearly cost approximately equal to the current human spaceflight budget over about 15 years, so the total cost in this second analysis would be about $120 billion.

   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.

   The Perseverance rover is projected to cost $2.7 billion dollars, of which $2.2 billion was for spacecraft development, $243 million for launch services, and approximately $300 million for operations and scientific analysis for its 2-year primary mission. The Ingenuity helicopter cost an additional $80 million to build and $5 million to operate during its 1-month mission.
