Budget estimate

$500,000 – $5,000,000

However, based on the complexity of the project and the fact that it involves experimentation using commercial space internet technology, the budget could be substantial. A possible estimate could be between $500,000 and $5,000,000. The actual budget will depend on the proposal and the needs of the Air Force Research Laboratory.
