Is $24.9 billion enough for NASA in 2027?
Published
The Senate Appropriations Committee's Commerce-Justice-Science subcommittee has proposed $24.874 billion for NASA in fiscal 2027. That is slightly more than the $24.438 billion Congress approved for 2026. According to SpacePolicyOnline, the Trump administration requested $18.8 billion. The House committee recommended $24.4 billion, and Democrats objected to the $6 billion for science in its version. A continuing resolution runs until 11 December.
Two questions for you: should Congress fund NASA above what the White House asks? And should science be protected even if exploration takes a cut?
