A Review of the President’s Fiscal Year 2022 Budget Proposal for NASA
The Administration has requested $24.8 billion for NASA in its Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 budget request, an increase of approximately $1.5 billion, or 6.6 over the FY2021 enacted appropriation.
As stated in the Congressional Justification document, the Administration’s priorities for NASA’s FY2022 proposal are: addressing climate change; a Moon to Mars human and robotic exploration plan; maintain and advance U.S. leadership in aviation and space; development of cutting-edge technologies and space science; and investing in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) engagement. Key initiatives proposed to support these priorities include the Earth System Observatory, the Sustainable Flight National Partnership, and keeping NASA on the path to landing the first woman and first person of color on the Moon under the Artemis program.
