If Congress\u2019 sweeping new spending bill is signed, it would finally provide full funding to some major NASA projects that have been underfunded over the last few years. Notably, NASA\u2019s program to develop a new human lunar lander would be fully funded as the president\u2019s budget requested, as will a program to develop new commercial space stations in low Earth orbit.<\/p>\n

Overall, NASA would receive $24.041 billion for 2022 in this new bill<\/a>, which will fund the US government for fiscal year 2022. <\/strong>NASA\u2019s portion is roughly $800 million less than the $24.8 billion that President Joe Biden\u2019s budget request called for in May of 2021<\/a>. However, NASA would still see a slight bump from its total funding for fiscal year 2021, which sat at $23.27 billion.<\/p>\n

Though Congress\u2019s plan would not fully meet the president\u2019s budget request, there are a few projects that House and Senate lawmakers are finally agreeing to fund in their entirety. The bill would give NASA\u2019s human landing system the full $1.195 billion that the request asked for. Currently, NASA is developing a new human lunar lander as part of its Artemis program, an initiative to send the first woman and first person of color to the Moon. Previously, Congress showed its reluctance to give NASA the money it requested for the lander. For 2021, appropriators only provided $850 million<\/a> of the requested $3.4 billion for the lander<\/a>.<\/p>\n
