The approximate total cost for the flight vehicle, launch preparation equipment, chase and recovery equipment, and balloon fill nozzle is $865.97. That does not include the cost of the helium, which varies greatly in cost and availability from region to region. That does also not include the cost of the APRS capable radio equipment used in the balloon chase and recovery process, or things like vehicle fuel. The individual payload costs are also not included because they will vary greatly depending on the focus of the flight.
