NASA's budget increased by 3%in fiscal year 2022, up to $24 billion. It was still short of the increase that the Biden administration sought, which was 7%. For fiscal year 2023, the Biden administration wants to increase NASA's budget by 8% to almost $26 billion. Space spending is on the up.
Compared to other countries, the United States spends significantly moreon space -- a whole lot more. In 2021, total government expenditure on space programs was $54.59 billion, more than China, France, Russia, Japan, Germany, India, Italy, the UK, South Korea, and the EU combined.
NASA's budget request for fiscal year 2022reflects a topical range of priorities. The four highlighted priorities are: 1. Addressing the climate crisis nationally and internationally.This includes a next-generation Earth system observatory, sustainable flight partnerships, and university research. 2. Restoring America's global standing.The Artemis ...
Artemis is an extended plan to bring astronauts to the Moon to help create a sustainable lunar economy -- and eventually take humanity even further, to Mars. NASA launched the Artemis I missionon November 16, 2022, sending the unmanned Orion spacecraft 40,000 miles beyond the Moon. The mission was successfully completed on December 11. The flight w...
The following chart, created by the Planetary Society using data from the Office of Management and Budget Historical Tables 8.5 and 8.7, illustrates federal spending in fiscal year 2020. In that fiscal year, the overall budget was $6.6 trillion, of which 0.3% ($22.6 billion) went to NASA. The argument that we need more money for other programs won'...
NASA's second agency-wide economic impact report highlighted a threefold return on budget. That's right -- NASA's economic output was more than $71.2 billion in fiscal year 2021, three times its annual budget. NASA administrator Bill Nelson even told CNBCthat the output estimate was an undersell. So, where was this output concentrated? NASA support...
The problems associated with space spending could be seen as extensions of some of the same issues that accompany projects that take place entirely on Earth. Projects that carry large price tags are subject to budgetary politics, micro-management, and technological risk. The federal executives assigned to long-term programs have to navigate through...
A look at NASA's blog archives detail snippets from daily life at the Space Station and shows the variety of work taking place. In December 2022, NASA flight engineer Frank Rubio was investigating how foams work in weightless environments to develop new solutions for firefighters and doctors. In November 2022, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JA...
NASA's economic impact is indisputable, eclipsing its annual budget. However, there are many non-monetary impacts of space spending, such as the way NASA fosters international cooperation and how it partners with non-federal entities on new technology. Scientific research and development constitute 20% of NASA's overall economic output, demonstrati...

A long stay Mars mission requires about three years, six to eight months out, eighteen or so on the surface, and six to eight months back. It is interesting that the cost factors and the three year Mars mission duration result in a cost breakdown of 73% development, 18% launch, and 9% operations.
