A7. What does a single shuttle launch cost?
[written by Dwayne Allen Day]

About $400-500 million. This is just the cost of the 8 or so missions per year divided into the total cost of the program per year. Adding another mission to the ones already planned costs about $100 million or so. If you work in the development costs, then the cost of each shuttle mission can be as high as $1.5 billion, but this number keeps going down as more and more shuttles are launched and the development costs are amortized over more total flights.
