Senate seeks to add $10 billion to NASA human spaceflight programs
Posted: Sat, Jun 7, 2025, 10:46 AM ET (1446 GMT)
The chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee is seeking $10 billion for NASA in a budget reconciliation bill. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) released Thursday his "legislative directives" he wants to include in the reconciliation bill on topics ranging from the Coast Guard to air traffic control modernization. The proposal would seek to undo some of the cuts to human spaceflight programs in the administration's 2026 budget request, adding $4.1 billion for producing two more SLS rockets and $2.6 billion to complete the lunar Gateway. The bill would also support ISS operations and production of a deorbit vehicle. The proposal, though, does not address deep cuts to NASA's science and space technology programs in the 2026 budget request.
