Posted: Sun, Mar 25, 2018, 10:55 AM ET (1455 GMT)
An omnibus spending bill provides NASA with more than $20.7 billion for fiscal year 2018. The bill, released Wednesday evening after intense negotiations, offers NASA more than $1.6 billion above the administration's original request, and is also above House and Senate versions of spending bills developed last year. The bill funds four Earth science missions slated for cancellation in the 2018 request as well as NASA's education office, slated for closure in the proposal. It also fully funds the Restore-L satellite servicing mission and includes $350 million to build a second mobile launch platform for the SLS. The House and Senate passed the legislation Thursday, which was signed into law on Friday.
