According to Ed Weiler, NASA’s science mission directorate chief, this last Hubble servicing mission is expected to cost about $1.1 billion. That is an increase from the estimated $900 million price tag NASA initially announced in 2006 when the agency committed to the STS-125 mission. The cost has swelled due to the last few years of delays.
