Deep Purple will observe the Earth, the sky and its celestial bodies, and other satellites in the ultraviolet (UV) and short-wave infrared. It was designed, developed, qualified and delivered in approximately one year and for less than $1 million by a team of LLNL spacecraft engineers.

I think that's faster & cheaper than launching our last product at work.

I suspect they did not count personnel cost in that $1M. The wages alone could easily exceed that, let alone the overhead that corporations usually account for.
