NASA Budget Outlook Discussion

On May 2, 2025, the White House released a top-level fiscal year 2026 budget proposal for NASA that calls for nearly 25 percent less in funding than NASA received for fiscal year 2025. Specifically, the budget proposes significant changes to NASA's crewed lunar plans, presence on the International Space Station, and science missions, among other changes.

To learn more about the implication of the budget proposal, please join us on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, at 1:00pm EDT for a discussion moderated by Clayton Swope, deputy director of the Aerospace Security Project and featuring Alex MacDonald, non-resident senior associate with the Aerospace Security Project, and Mike French, founder of the Space Policy Group. The virtual-only event will be live-streamed from this webpage.

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
