Compared to the 2014 budget of NASA for the next year decreased by 186 million dollars. The largest

NASA has prepared jets schedule 2012 a draft budget for 2015 in the amount of 17.46 billion dollars. This is 0.5% of the total budget of the White House are the usual standard of 2006. Participation of Finance Space Agency in the national budget US. This amount is 186 million less than the budget jets schedule 2012 of NASA in 2014 (about 17.7 billion).
For science is anticipated to be set aside just under 5 billion. Within the science are sub-programs jets schedule 2012 for the planet Earth, astrophysics, planet and heliofiziku. Nearly $ 650 million is planned to continue the project Vebovog jets schedule 2012 cosmic telescopes, while about 1.3 billion set aside for the plenary research.
Another major program in the budget of NASA research related to human flight into space. In this program, for which a separate jets schedule 2012 4.1 mlilijardi dollars are projects super-rocket SLS and the new Orion spacecraft. The third program of the cosmic operations jets schedule 2012 (mainly projects related to the program of the International Space Station) - for this program is planned 3.9 billion.
It is interesting that within another program ("research") provided 850 million for commercial cosmic projects of private companies pertaining to the ICC, so that in fact the third large program "operation" in which there is maintenance of the Cosmic station proposed 4, 8 billion. So much to NASA should cost MKS next year, of course, if Congress approves the funds. jets schedule 2012 If in addition finance program "Research" (SLS + Orion + commercial jets schedule 2012 projects) and "operation" (ICC) together, then NASA for all program related to human flight into space, plans to spend about $ 8 billion, almost jets schedule 2012 50% of the total budget. jets schedule 2012 This is money that NASA intends to pay maintenance to the ICC orbit (or rather American labor ICC), support projects jets schedule 2012 of private companies that build spacecraft for flight American astronauts to the ICC, to continue the development of new spacecraft Orion, whose use in the future does not look clear and very expensive super-rocket SLS whose future, like Orion, from this perspective is quite blurred.
Compared to the 2014 budget of NASA for the next year decreased by 186 million dollars. The largest decrease was for programs SLS and Orion - 365 million dollars, or even 13% below the finance approved for 2014. Other "scapegoat" is a science that next year will be shorter by 179 million, or 3% compared to this year. Among the projects to be extinct jets schedule 2012 mission vehicles Opportunity, which is already jets schedule 2012 more than ten years exploring the surface of Mars. The money from this project will be transferred to the continuation of the mission Cassini spacecraft, jets schedule 2012 which since 2004 orbits around Saturn.
Cosmic Agency is obviously in need of support of the White House and Congress for a balanced program where people fly into space, transportation systems (first test flight models Orion is planned this year, and the launch of the first version of the SLS 2017) and cosmic science. NASA wants to continue operations at the ICC in cooperation with private companies, which should eventually allow the United States to send its astronauts to the space station without the help of the Russians. However, to director of NASA Boulden threw 850 million to fund three projects of private spaceships which is the minimum required for the first commercial launch of astronauts from US soil in late 2017, or early 2018 drastically reduced budget projects SLS and Orion. It is almost certain that Congress will finally adopt the budget proposal for commercial applications. For years there have been fuck for this budget by an average of about 30-40% on the grounds jets schedule 2012 that they can not US taxpayers (ie. People) to pay the projects of private companies that have their own, independent jets schedule 2012 budgets. Now that the situation in Ukraine more winging jets schedule 2012 it and when the United States think of another wave of sanctions against Russia, it is unlikely that Congress will keep the old policy of cutting down "commercial budget". Although the situation around Ukraine on the budget for a commercial jets schedule 2012 program spaceships, jets schedule 2012 Boulden still had to reduce budget projects SLS and Orion and the money transferred where, in his opinion more necessary ("What will we SLS and Orion if you can not send American astronauts in low orbit, "he said recently).
NASA continues jets schedule 2012 the life of the ICC after the 2020 Cosmic station is, as one senator, a lot more than what they could all see in the film 'Gravity'. It is an American laboratory in space, the only orbital station where for 15 years working astronauts NASA and their only for now certain destinations in the future.
From budget NASA greatly depend on developments in astronautics other countries, especially those that have a long standing relationship with her as ESA (EU), JAXA (Japan) and CSA (Canada). On the other hand, NASA is an institution where engineers and scientists complement and sometimes blazing new trails in the science of the universe. As it was a year ago when we analyzed the budget of NASA in 2014, and as it was in fact since its founding more than fifty years, doubts remain whether this amount is sufficient
