The latest satellite in the series, F19, began to suffer sensor malfunctions last year and finally broke down a few weeks ago. It should have been replaced with the F20 probe, which had already been built and was being kept in storage by the US Air Force. However it had to be destroyed, on the orders of the US Congress, on the grounds that its storage was too costly | Science | The Guardian

Wonder if some other nation will launch new satellites. India? China? I remember something about Indian multi launches being cheap, or possibly becoming cheap?

google google google...

Yes. India. It was India. I don't know that it was cheap, but it was whole bunch at one whack.

Oh, hold on a sec, yes, we do know. It can be cheap.

in a relative way...

Quote:
The Mars mission cost India’s famously thrifty space agency about $73m, nearly a 10th the cost of a Nasa probe sent to orbit the planet the previous year. The low price tag led Modi to quip that India had sent a satellite into space for less than Americans had spent making the movie Gravity.
