This means that the cost of a long stay human Mars mission is estimated at roughly $300 to $600 billion. The higher cost allows an earlier landing in 2033 but the more restricted budget will postpone it to past 2050. No detailed cost estimates were presented. The cost estimates are presented as uncertain, notional, and optimistic.

Mission Costs Major Phases of a Project • Phase A/B : Technology and concept development • Phase C: Research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) • Phase D: Production • Phase E: Operations A life cycle cost estimate includes costs for all phases of a mission. Method for estimating cost varies based on where the project is

4. Choose and know your cost models tools to estimate the hardware costs -WBS 5. Payload instrument (Remote sensing, in-situ)-WBS 6. Spacecraft (cubesat, small sat, etc…) 1. Use your data to generate wraps to the costs by WBS (PM, SE, S&MA, etc…) 1. In some cases, some cost model will already have this set of wraps for you 2.
• The cost estimates include all costs for government support and supervision; i.e. they are “full cost” estimates. • In all total costs for major elements a 30% cost margin is included, due to the currently rather low technical, operational and organizational definition of the Mars Direct plan. All estimates were conducted with the
