Those stresses are perhaps most evident in the budget for NASA’s planetary science programs. The 2024 proposal offers $3.38 billion, an increase of $180 million over 2023, a far cry from the $1.34 billion budget planetary science had a decade ago. But as scientists investigated the detailed budget proposal NASA released March 13, two numbers stood ...
The detailed budget came out as planetary scientists gathered near Houston for the annual Lunar and Planetary Sciences Conference (LPSC). During a NASA town hall session, many expressed their opposition to the VERITAS budget, concerned it set a dangerous precedent. Among those speaking at the town hall was Sue Smrekar, principal investigator for VE...
The other number that stood out in the planetary budget, $949.3 million, was for Mars Sample Return (MSR). That was a nearly 20% increase from what NASA projected last year needing for MSR in 2024. Moreover, the budget proposal warned of more cost increases to come. “Mars Sample Return costs are expected to increase beyond what is shown in the outy...
The fiscal year 2024 budget proposal contained little in the way of new initiatives. An exception to that was $180 million requested by NASA to start work on a deorbit tug for the International Space Station. NASA’s earlier plans, including an ISS transition plan it published in early 2022, projected using Russian Progress spacecraft to perform a c...
The release of the budget proposal kicks off a long process of congressional hearings and markups of spending bills. That will be particularly difficult this year with split control of Congress: Democrats retained control of the Senate but Republicans are now in the majority in the House. “There is peril ahead,” said Jean Toal Eisen, vice president...
Mar 28, 2023 · The 2024 proposal allocates a $1.5 million shoestring budget to VERITAS — a severe drop from NASA's projected $56.7 million. Estimates for future years hold the mission funding at $1.5 million...
Mar 28, 2023 · Venus has volcanoes, but scientists are dismayed that NASA has slashed funding for a key mission to the planet that would have answered many important questions.
Jun 4, 2021 · NASA has only spent about 3.7 or so billion dollars on its Venus missions ever, since 1958. You compare that to, something like Mars, where it's closer to 30 billion, about 28, $29 billion. You can see this, in a sense, the discrepancy of in terms of dollars as a proxy for political priority, Venus has just not had that.
Dec 11, 2023 · In the meantime, NASA has slowed down work on MSR efforts, again citing budget uncertainty: a Senate bill would provide NASA with less than a third of the nearly $950 million requested for MSR, while a House spending bill would fully fund it.
