Over the past decade the National Science Council has provided the TON project with something over US $ 2 million in funding, and the program has yielded rich results in the forefront of astronomical research. Compared with the near US $ 1 billion cost of the SOHO satellite, this is great value for money.
十年來，國科會為日震計畫投入二百多萬美金，研究成果回收豐碩，相較國外 SOHO 衛星的十億美金，可以說既經濟又實惠，算得上天文研究中的奇葩。
