   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...

   How much would a human mission cost to Mars?

   • 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. Table 1. Cost estimates for a first Mars mission in current dollars.

   How are ISS and Mars cost estimates calculated?

   • ISS and Mars cost estimates using GAO derived cost factors. Shuttle total cost adjustment, $B International partners cost, $B The results of the more detailed cost estimating approach are as expected, for ISS and Mars. Since the GAO ISS numbers were used to derive the cost estimating factors, the ISS cost checks exactly.

   Is it possible to estimate a cost of a mission?

   • While every estimate should be taken with a big grain of salt - and prices vary wildly with different types of missions, number of people, length of stay on Mars, etc - there are entire disciplines in engineering around cost estimation, so it's not impossible to generate useful estimates.

   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 much does the ISS cost a day?

   • Currently, it costs $88,000 to $164,000 per person per day to operate things. And with seven people on board the ISS, it costs around $616,000 to $1.2 million per day. Most of the money sunk into the space station is fronted by NASA, but other nations such as Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada all chip in.
