It is estimated that a single satellite launch can range in cost from a low of about $50 million to a high of about $400 million. Launching a space shuttle mission can easily cost $500 million dollars, although one mission is capable of carrying multiple satellites and send them into orbit.
The first ever satellite launched into space was of course Sputnik 1 in October 1957. Later, the US launched 'Explorer 1' with a Geiger counter on board, so it is probably t â¦ he first probe in space.
