The Space Review. Retrieved 26 January 2010. <q>NASA first put a reliable figure of the cost of the MSL mission at the "Phase A/Phase B transition", after a preliminary design review (PDR) that approved instruments, design and engineering of the whole mission. That was in August 2006—and the Congress-approved figure was $1.63 billion. … With this request, the MSL budget had reached $1.9 billion. … NASA HQ requested JPL prepare an assessment of costs to complete the construction of MSL by the next launch opportunity (in October 2011). This figure came in around $300 million, and NASA HQ has estimated this will translate to at least $400 million (assuming reserves will be required), to launch MSL and operate it on the surface of Mars from 2012 through 2014.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=The+Space+Review&rft.atitle=Mars+Science+Laboratory%3A+the+budgetary+reasons+behind+its+delay%3A+MSL%3A+the+budget+story&rft.date=2009-03-02&rft.aulast=Brown&rft.aufirst=Adrian&rft_id=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thespacereview.com%2Farticle%2F1318%2F1&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ATimeline+of+Mars+Science+Laboratory" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-audit2011-9"><a href="#cite_ref-audit2011_9-0">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111203022237/http://oig.nasa.gov/audits/reports/FY11/IG-11-019.pdf">"Audit Report: NASA'S MANAGEMENT OF THE MARS SCIENCE LABORATORY PROJECT"</a> (PDF).
