NASA recently announced that their Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) spacecraft is ready for its first test flight in 2019. The cost of the Orion for the test flight will be $22.5 Million in 2019. The first manned mission for the Orion is scheduled for 2025 and its cost is estimated to be $18.75 Million. Beginning in 2031 the Orion will used yearly to transport astronauts from earth to the International Space Station and from the station back to earth once a mission is completed. The operating and maintenance cost of the Orion will be $925,000 in 2031 with costs expected to increase by 4% per year until the Orion spacecraft is retired. The spacecraft is expected to be overhauled at a cost of $8.5 Million in 2035. The Orion is expected to be retired in 2050. The estimated salvage value of the Orion is expected to be $3.25 Million. NASA currently uses a MARR of 8% per year on these types of projects. Compute the annual cost to the American tax payers to fund this project over the life of the spacecraft (2017–2050).
