Breaking: NASA budget reveals program cancellations, thousands of layoffs

05/30/2025 BREAKING NEWS NASA budget would cancel dozens of science missions, lay off thousands NASA released more specifics about its proposed fiscal year 2026 budget Friday, outlining new investments in exploration at the expense of canceling dozens of science missions and cutting more than 5,000 jobs. The documents provide greater detail about the top-level budget proposal from what the White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) disclosed in its "skinny" budget released four weeks earlier. That top-level budget of $18.8 billion would be a cut of about a quarter from the nearly $24.9 billion it received in fiscal year 2025. That is the sharpest year-over-year cut proposed for NASA and would bring the agency's budget down to levels last seen in 1961 when corrected for inflation. - Jeff Foust Read now You received this email because you signed up on SpaceNews to receive our emails.
