From an original estimate of about $400 million, by the time of launch it had cost $2.2 billion and by today has probably cost twice that amount.
The Hubble telescope was placed in orbit with a mirror that had been ground to the wrong dimensions. A fleck of paint was stuck to the end of an optical interferometer and used as a reference datum.
ESA is European Space Agency, it's headquarters are in Paris, France. It is a combined effort of countries of Europe for space exploration This way the different countries can help each other in exploring space and can also be cost saving.
160 million per year just for the personnel. add aircraft fuel and maintenance parts, and you're looking at closer to $400 million per year. add the cost of the carrier ($4.5 billion) and divide it over its lifetime (about 40 years) and you're looking at about $530,000,000 per year which is close to $1,450,000 per day. Carriers launch on average 18 times (with 18 recoveries) per day including time in port and time in shipyads. That means each carrier launch costs $80,600.

The exact cost of building Yuri Gagarin's spacecraft, Vostok 1, is not easily quantified in terms of a single figure, as it was part of the larger Soviet space program. Overall, the Soviet space program's budget in the early 1960s was substantial, with estimates indicating it consumed billions of rubles. Vostok 1 itself was developed as part of a series of missions, with costs spread across various stages of research, development, and infrastructure.
The cost of the Hubble Space Telescope was about $2.5 billion at the time of its launch in 1990, which included development, construction, and launching expenses.
The total cost of the Hubble Space Telescope, including manufacturing, launch, and maintenance, is estimated to be around $10 billion.
The total cost for building and launching the Hubble Space Telescope was approximately $2.5 billion. This includes the development, construction, transportation, and launch costs.
The total cost of the Hubble Space Telescope, including development, construction, and maintenance over its lifetime, is estimated to be around $10 billion. This includes the cost of the initial launch in 1990 and the subsequent servicing missions.
The original total cost estimate for the Hubble Space Telescope started out at US$400 million. It eventually cost over $2.5 billion to construct. Overall, with repairs, upgrades and operating it, Hubble had cost US$10 billion as of 2010. These figures were reported by NASA in 2012. (See the references in the related links.)
1.5 billion US-$ at the launch in 1990.
the hubble space telescope cost 1.5 million dollars
The annual operating cost for the Hubble Space Telescope is approximately $100 million.
The cost of building the Hubble Space Telescope is around the $2.5 billion mark.With operational costs, the figure is close to $6 billion.
The Hubble Space Telescope was designd and manufactured on Earth, at a cost of about 1.2 billion dollars. It was then carried into space aboard the Space Shuttle, and inserted into orbit on April 24, 1990.
It says 1.2 billion in this website but i'm not so sure........
Money, it all comes down to money. The Hubble telescope is a multimillion dollar thing, i think its total cost is in the billions. So imagine what a better one would cost! Plus, the Hubble telescope has been able to do everything we needed it to. So until it can't keep up, i think we will keep good old Mr Hubble.
