That includes the Nancy Grace Roman Space #Telescope, which has been designed to study distant #galaxies & faraway #planets from an orbital outpost about a million miles from Earth. The hardware of the Roman is in place & being integrated & tested at #NASA’s Goddard #Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD. The Roman is scheduled to launch as early as Sept 2026.

The #Hubble & #Webb space #telescopes —celebrated for their long list of discoveries as well as stunning images of the #universe — would remain supported under the proposal. However, no other telescope would be funded.

“This is an extinction-level event for #NASA science,” said Casey Dreier, chief of #space policy for the #Planetary Society, a space advocacy group. “It needlessly terminates functional, productive #science missions & cancels new missions currently being built, wasting billions of taxpayer dollars in the process. This is neither efficient nor smart budgeting.”

#NASA’s #science budget could be cut nearly in half under an early version of #Trump’s #budget proposal to #Congress, a move that would terminate billions of dollars’ worth of ongoing & future missions….

The budget plan, sent to NASA by the #RussVought led #OMB, would give NASA’s Science Mission Directorate $3.9B, down from its current budget of about $7.3B….

How many do you expect in total until the end of 2026 (worldwide, all models) ?

"..."The blame for the lack of #advancement is placed squarely on the shoulders of marginalized groups. If only they would lean in more, advocate for themselves, take suitable training courses, seek out sponsors, and follow the proper unwritten rules, they, too, could ascend...."
