Including expenses for the satellite, launch, ground segment and insurance, the Thaicom 8 project is expected to cost $178.5 million.
So, how much of the $18.5 million difference between Thaicom 6 ($160 million) and Thaicom 8 ($178.5 million) is due to inflation and how much is due to discounts provided by SpaceX on Thaicom 6?

Question: roughly how long from announcement of winning a bid until launch?
Quote from: Robotbeat on 05/11/2015 06:29 pmQuestion: roughly how long from announcement of winning a bid until launch?Depends on contract. Comm sat is usually 36months if ordering the sat concurrently to the launch, but Falcon 9 can be ordered L-24months. Jason-3 will take 36months from order award. But it includes some 6months of certification lag. Still fast for a NASA mission. DoD is usually 5 years. Might be shorter for things based on comm sat platform (like GPS) or "risky" things like STP missions.

I believe Jason would be F9-019.
