The cost increase of satellites increases based on total number of satellites - those launched, built/in-storage, and queued for being built. It's also no longer possible to place a build order for more than one satellite at a time, avoiding the cost. On the other hand, satellites being shot down won't result in crazily escalating satellite costs, because the costs will go down with lost satellites. The scaling factor for how much satellite costs increase has been toned down, along with the engineer requirement increase. However, the time-to-build satellites is not decreased.
