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.
Over those 20 years, there have been 134 missions. That brings the average shuttle launch cost to about $1.5 billion, according to Pielke and Byerly, writing in the international weekly journal of science Nature. The researchers said each shuttle launch cost about $1.2 billion from the time Columbia launched and 2010.
