NASA called the cost of developing a rocket for the lunar program

The cost of developing a super-heavy launch vehicle Space Launch System (SLS) will be about $9.1 billion, said Katie Luders, head of the manned space flight program of the American aerospace agency NASA. This was reported by the portal Space.com. The SLS launch vehicle is being developed to implement the American lunar program Artemis. The first test launch of this rocket was planned for early 2021, but NASA admitted that they would have to delay the launch due to a delay in work due to an outbreak of a new coronavirus infection. In a new message, Katie Luders clarified that now NASA expects to conduct the first SLS launch in November 2021. She also added that taking into account this delay, the total cost of developing a launch vehicle will be about $9.1 billion. Another $2.4 billion will be needed to create the basic ground infrastructure required to launch these missiles. As previously reported by the news agency, in September, NASA specialists conducted a full-scale test of the SLS launch vehicle booster at a training ground in Utah.
