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.
But science policy researchers estimated the each shuttle launch cost at being far more expensive-as much as three times more. Roger Pielke Jr. and Radford Byerly, of the University of Colorado in Boulder, reported that the U.S. government and NASA spent nearly $200 billion total on the space shuttle program.
