SRB costs
I've given a little bit of thought to SRB costs for a presumed shuttle
derived vehicle (SDV). Given the contract info I found (Google is great), it seems that costs per engine (fabrication, processing, refurbishing) amount to about $40 million per engine. Also, what I've found seems to suggest that NASA has ordered 240 SRBs to date (may not all have been manufactured, yet). So, if SDV is built, I wonder if existing SRBs would be used and what the cost would be of simply refurbishing what is there? Anyone have any wild guesses? Jon
