NASA’s science budget won’t be a train wreck after all
摘要
美国白宫在2026财年预算提案中计划大幅削减NASA科学项目经费，并一度要求多项太空科学任务准备关闭计划。然而，国会随后介入预算制定过程，明确表示将支持NASA大部分科学项目的资金需求，使初步的关闭计划得以暂停。
In June, the White House released a budget proposal for fiscal year 2026 that slashed funding for NASA's science programs by nearly 50 percent. Then, in July, the Trump administration began telling the leaders of dozens of space science missions to prepare "closeout" plans for their spacecraft.
Things looked pretty grim for a while, but then Congress stepped in. Congress, of course, sets the federal government's budget. In many ways, Congress abdicated authority to the Trump administration last year. But not so, it turns out, with federal spending.
Throughout the summer and fall, as the White House and Congress wrangled over various issues, lawmakers made it clear they intended to fund most of NASA's science portfolio. Preliminary efforts to shut down active missions were put on hold.
