“I’m going to try to lead the subcommittee and the whole committee to put us in a position where we are funding NASA, NOAA and our other agencies in a way that is pretty similar to what we did last year.”

Statement last Sunday by Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS), who serves at the chair of the Senate Appropriations Commerce, Justice and Science subcommittee, which oversees NASA. The subcommittee successfully reversed most of the proposed White House cuts in the Fiscal Year 2026 NASA budget. The senator is a speaker at this week’s Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, CO.
