NASA requests $25.4 billion in 2025 budget proposal
Posted: Sat, Mar 16, 2024, 11:39 AM ET (1539 GMT)
NASA NASA says that it's faced with "hard choices" for its programs because of spending caps. The agency released its 2025 budget proposal Monday, seeking nearly $25.4 billion in 2025, the same as the agency received in 2023 and a half-billion more than it received in the final 2024 spending bill last week. The budget requests proposals to delay, cancel or restructure several science missions, including canceling the Geospace Dynamics Constellation heliophysics mission and cutting back operations of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The budget left funding for Mars Sample Return (MSR) as "TBD" as plans to restructure the program wrap up this spring. NASA will later amend the budget request to include funding for MSR, but doesn't plan to increase the $2.7 billion overall request for planetary science.
