How many extra resources for automated Satellite production?

Hi guys!

Recently got back into playing Factorio when I saw there's a bunch of extra stuff ( especially nukes, my favourite <3 ).

So I've created a setup now where all resources are funneled entirely into making components for a rocket, and my rocket silo has 4 Productivity Module3's in it. I've now got enough input to ensure the rockets never stop being constructed, so long as the basic resources keep flowing.

Now I look at the cost of each satellite and cringe. I'm hand making them at the moment, but as a rough estimation from those that do it, how much extra infrastructure on top of what I already have am I going to need to ensure a satellite is ready for every rocket launch?

That depends on how fast you want to launch rockets.
