Rep. Sandy Adams (R-FL) issued a press release Monday about the letter that she and Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX) sent last week to Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), chairman of the House Budget Committee. As reported last week, Adams and Olson asked Ryan to spare human spaceflight programs from any budget cuts, suggesting that Earth sciences […] Yesterday the Senate passed yet another short-term continuing resolution (CR), extending funding for the federal government for three more weeks, through April 8. That CR cuts $63 million from NASA, targeting earmarks left over from the agency’s FY2010 spending bill. This CR is likely to be the last such stopgap measure before “the decisive showdown […] The Senate Commerce Committee’s space subcommittee held a hearing Tuesday on “Realizing NASA’s Potential: Programmatic Challenges in the 21st Century”, featuring as witnesses six of the agency’s associate administrators, from space operations and exploration to education and mission support. The hearing didn’t result in any major revelations about the agency’s plans, but did seem to […] There’s one thing that both NASA’s leadership and key Congressional figures can agree on: none of them are particularly happy about having to rely on Russia for access to the ISS.

Now it appears that the next step will be another short-term continuing resolution (CR), as the current CR expires next Friday. This CR would run for three […] The space shuttle Discovery landed at the Kennedy Space Center yesterday, wrapping up its 39th mission—and also its final one, as the shuttle program approaches its end later this year. Several members of Congress, and one former member, used the occasion to both congratulate NASA on the completion of the mission and express their views […] The Senate Appropriations Committee has released the full text of its proposed full-year continuing resolution (CR) for 2011, one that funds NASA at just over $18.5 billion. The table below compares the Senate’s proposal with what the House passed last month (amounts in millions of dollars, subject to rounding and other errors): Account 2011 House […] The Senate Appropriations Committee released on Friday highlights of its proposed continuing resolution (CR) for the remainder of FY2011, a response to the House version, HR 1, that passed last month. Under the Senate bill NASA would get $18.539 billion, $461 million less than the $19 billion requested by the administration over a year ago […] For the second day in a row, NASA administrator Charles Bolden made the trip to Capitol Hill to discuss the agency’s FY2012 budget request, this time to members of the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee.
