05/02/2025 BREAKING NEWS White House budget proposal would phase out SLS and Orion, scale back ISS operations The White House is proposing major changes to NASA in its fiscal year 2026 budget request, seeking to phase out the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft as well as reduce operations of the International Space Station. The White House's Office of Management and Budget released a top-level budget proposal for fiscal year 2026 May 2. The so-called "skinny" budget includes overall funding levels and some details, but without the same level of detail as a full budget proposal. For NASA, the skinny budget requests $18.8 billion for the agency, a cut of nearly 25% from the $24.9 billion the agency received in the full-year continuing resolution for fiscal year 2025. - Jeff Foust Read now You received this email because you signed up on SpaceNews to receive our emails To stop receiving Breaking News, unsubscribe below.
