Initial one-time setup is dominated by relocation, large reserve funds and potential space-campaign seed money; annual operations are dominated by staff, airline compensation and R&D/monitoring. Baseline first-year capital expenditures approach several hundred million USD while steady-state annual operating costs are tens of millions USD.

Confidence Notes
Analyst notes provide detailed ranges for most line items but many estimates are wide and contingent on policy choices (e.g., relocation scope, airline compensation, space campaign). Numbers are mid-range assumptions; uncertainty remains around incident frequency and the scale of government/airline cost sharing.
