Budget & Feasibility

Budget

The instrument has a primary focus on investment efficiency, positioning itself as a low-cost alternative compared to similar scientific payloads. Through careful design and resource optimization, the project aims to maintain a budget constraint, ensuring that the cost of the instrument does not exceed $2-3 million. This commitment to cost effectiveness does not compromise scientific capabilities of the instrument.

Feasibilty

Given the experience gained from various space instruments already developed at the IAR and the technical facilities available, such as the anechoic chamber, clean rooms and technical laboratories, the Institute is prepared to successfully complete the project. Integration of the instrument into a space platform and launch will require partnerships with space agencies and companies.
