Congressional Committee Recommends Flat Funding For Space Agency

A congressional committee has proposed keeping NASA’s funding flat at $24.438 billion, reversing deep cuts proposed by the White House. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman testified before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies, stating that he did not request additional funding. The decision is a significant development for NASA’s operations in Huntsville, Alabama, which are tied to multiple programs that were proposed for funding cuts. The funding bill will now go to the full House Appropriations Committee for markup, as reported by Axios.
