NASA proposes nearly $26 billion budget for 2023
Posted: Sat, Apr 2, 2022, 10:21 AM ET (1421 GMT)
NASA is requesting nearly $26 billion for 2023 to support continued work in exploration, science and technology programs. The budget, released Monday, represents an 8% increase over what the agency received for 2022. The budget proposal contained little in the way of new initiatives, instead providing funding for elements of the Artemis lunar exploration effort and the previously announced Earth System Observatory series of Earth science missions. NASA did announce it will seek to terminate funding for the SOFIA airborne observatory and Mars Ice Mapper, a proposed international Mars orbiter mission, and will delay development of the NEO Surveyor space telescope to look for near-Earth asteroids.
