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.
