Per Mission:
The only consumables for a mission are Batteries and RFID tags. So, for each excursion an astronaut would need 2 fully charged batteries, and however many tags required (determined during mission planning). Therefore, the per mission cost would be $160 for batteries, plus $0.50 per RFID tag used. Something that needs to be kept in mind is that each space suit is tailored to its specific astronaut and all hardware cost needs to be multiplied by the number of astronaut suits in the mission. This cost is $316.30 plus any addition costs necessary if a restart of the manufacturing process is required.
