This page is a collection of Financial effort estimations. It covers all planning, preperations, material, transport, administration, etc.
Contents
Systematics
There are several stages that can be calculated separately:
- Transportation from Earth to Earth's orbit
- Transportation from Earth's orbit to Mars' orbit
- Transportation from Earth's orbit to Mars' surface
- Transportation from Earth's orbit to Earth's moon
- Transportation from Earth's moon to Mars' orbit
- Transportation from Earth's moon to Mars' surface
Cost per kg from Earth to Earth's orbit (unmanned)
European Ariane V: $7000 per kg
Cost per person from Earth to Earth's orbit
Here the mass of the person with an average of 70 kg is only part of it. Additional mass is calculated for the life support systems.
Cost estimations in existing publications
- NewScientist 2004: "A human mission to Mars is expected to cost $40 billion to $80 billion."
- MARS DAILY 2007: "U.S. experts estimate the cost of a manned mission to Mars at $500 billion. Russia believes it can place cosmonauts on the planet's surface in the next 12 years for just $14 billion, ..."
