Proposed Federal Budget Reductions Threaten Science Missions
The Trump administration’s proposed federal budget would significantly reduce NASA funding, potentially affecting the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s operations and science missions. The proposed reductions include a 46% cut to NASA’s science programs and could cancel 53 science missions, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times. The proposal has drawn bipartisan criticism and may create uncertainty for research institutions such as JPL. This development was first reported by the Los Angeles Times.
