NASA will get a funding boost next year, if all goes according to plan.
The White House’s federal budget request for fiscal year 2024, which was released today (March 9), allocates $27.2 billion to NASA. That’s $1.8 billion more than the agency got this year, an increase of 7%. As usual, however, NASA’s slice of the overall pie is tiny; the budget projects total federal spending in 2024 to be $6.8 trillion.
The newly unveiled numbers are far from final: To be enacted, budgets must be approved by Congress, which holds the power of the purse in Washington.
