Abstract: This paper proposes a model for estimating the cost of sub-systems of a communication satellite.Thus it allows to estimate the cost of the spacecraft and the total space segment. In order to estimate the cost of subsystems, the paper presents at first a model for mass distribution of subsystems.Examples of calculating these costs are also presented.

Key words: Cost analysis, Mathematical model, Synchronous communication satellite.
