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.
Much of the cost is in launching it. Very small satellites can be launched on rockets that carry larger satellites. This can bring the costs down to under $10,000,000.The Canadian MOST satellite (a small telescope, about the size of a briefcase) was about this much, including manufacture of the instrument.Maintenance depends very much on what the device does.his can bring the costs down to under $10,000,000.
