After all the extensions - it's more like $900m I think.

After all the extensions - it's more like $900m I think. Doug OK Doug! So, assuming $900m, on March 15th, the price per sol will be exactly $400.000 as total sol will get to 2250. Here are other stats about how long it took to take 25k pictures from the begining of the mission. I miss the date of the first 25k's and assumed it was linear. If somebody know the date, I'll appreciate. Also number of pictures per sol were we can see summer-winter variations. It's an excel file : Stat_rovers_march_07.xls ( 17K ) Number of downloads: 1610 -------------------- |

OK Doug! So, assuming $900m, on March 15th, the price per sol will be exactly $400.000 as total sol will get to 2250. "[T]he number that most haunted me and Pete ... was the one you got if you took the cost of the mission and divided it by the number of sols we expected to operate on the surface. It came to about $4 million a sol. ... Whatever we built, and whatever we managed to do with it, the result was going to have to be worth at least that much." Steve Squyres, Roving Mars, p. 103.
