. Originally estimated to cost some $4 billion, the reviewers found that NASA’s share of the mission could end up costing between $8 billion to $11 billion, and that launch could happen no sooner than 2030, 2 years later than now planned.between NASA and the European Space Agency , MSR would gather rocks collected by the Perseverance rover, which has been drilling samples since it landed on Mars in 2020.
The simplest solution would be taking current plans, which are “intelligently constructed,” and shift them from 2028 to a 2030 launch window to reach Mars. Those added years would increase overall costs from $8 billion to $9.
