The total cost of this scientific exploration mission is about US$3.26 billion, including $1.4 billion for pre-launch development, $704 million for mission operations, $54 million for tracking and $422 million for the launch vehicle.
ikr, insanely cost efficient. a 24-year development project followed by a 13-year mission including a 10 million mile flight and first ever orbit of saturn and landing on an outer planet's moon, all for the cost of 10 airplanes.
