  1. Oct 9, 2024 · By 2035, NASA plans to explore Mars, building on experiences from lunar missions under the Artemis program. The Mars mission will investigate the planet’s geology, atmospheric conditions, and potential signs of life, using insights gained from manned Moon missions as a preparatory step.

  2. Mar 8, 2015 · A ballpark cost of the first Mars mission in 2035 would total $230 billion. Second and subsequent missions, occurring at three-year intervals, would cost about $142 billion each including SLS...

    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.

    Some of the previous estimates of the cost for a human mission to Mars are cited. They are largely consistent.

    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 ISS life support is estimated as a guide to the cost of life support for Mars.

    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...

  3. Feb 20, 2024 · In a 2015 op-ed, Dr. Olin G. Smith and Paul D. Spudis* estimated that the cost of NASA’s Journey to Mars could be as much as $1.5 trillion. Moroever, their assessment was based on a ...

  4. May 18, 2023 · There is a detailed plan on the table for a low-risk mission possible in 2033 that would last just 570 days. Most crewed Mars missions would take 800 to 1,000 days to complete. What’s more, the...
