House appropriators keep overall NASA funding flat
Posted: Sat, May 16, 2026, 9:28 AM ET (1328 GMT)
House appropriators advanced a spending bill Wednesday that keeps overall NASA funding flat for fiscal year 2027. The committee approved the commerce, justice and science spending bill on a 32-28 vote, sending it to the full House. The bill provides $24.438 billion for NASA, the same as the agency received in 2026 and rejecting a proposed 23% cut. The report accompanying the bill provided some additional details, such as calling for continued funding of several science missions slated for cancellation in the proposal. It also requires NASA to continue SLS and Orion until a commercial alternative that meets or exceeds their capabilities is proven.
