On March 10, the US Senate and house of representatives are reviewing a comprehensive expenditure proposal for fiscal year 2022, which will provide NASA with a budget of slightly more than $24 billion. Among them, the manned lunar lander and commercial space station have received full financial support < p > overall, NASA will receive US $24.041 billion in this new proposal in 2022, nearly US $800 million less than the US President Joe Biden's government's US $24.8 billion budget request in May 2021, but higher than the agency's total budget of US $23.27 billion in fiscal year 2021 < p > although the plan of the U.S. Congress failed to fully meet the government's budget requirements, lawmakers in both houses of Congress finally agreed to provide full financial support for some projects. For example, the bill will provide $1.195 billion for NASA's manned lunar landing system, which is consistent with the agency's previous application < p > as part of the return of Artemis to the moon program, NASA is developing a new manned lunar lander, which aims to send the first woman and the first colored man to the moon. Earlier, the U.S. Congress said it was unwilling to provide NASA with the funds it requested. In 2021, the project allocated only US $850 million, about a quarter of the applied amount of US $3.4 billion < p > due to the shortage of funds, NASA has made some modifications to the Artemis program. Initially, the agency hoped to select at least two commercial companies to develop and manufacture manned lunar landers for it, so as to promote competition. However, due to the limited project funds, NASA finally chose SpaceX, hoping to develop its starship into a lander. NASA acknowledged that the lower price of SpaceX was one of the important factors in its final decision < p > If NASA does receive full funding for the manned landing system this year, Congress will ask the agency to submit a public plan within 30 days after the proposal is signed, explaining how it will ensure the safety, redundancy, sustainability and competitiveness of the manned lunar lander program. In addition, Congress is required to provide a detailed list of resources needed to achieve these goals by 2026 The wording of the < p > proposal does not make it clear that NASA must choose a second company to develop the manned lunar lander, although an earlier version of the house appropriations bill expressed concern that NASA chose only one company < p > another area where NASA is seriously underfunded is the agency's plan to develop a successor to the international space station. The international space station is located in low earth orbit and financial support will continue until 2024, although the Biden administration announced plans to extend its operation to 2030. However, once the space station program ends, NASA hopes to develop a commercial space station with the help of private space companies to replace the international space station. The commercial space station can provide a platform for NASA astronauts to visit space in the post international space station era < p > however, NASA has been trying to raise funds for this transition plan. In 2020 and 2021, NASA requested a budget of $150 million for both fiscal years, but Congress allocated only $15 million and $17 million, respectively. But in 2022, NASA asked for a budget of $101.1 million, and the U.S. Congress decided to allocate it in full in the new proposal < p > as for other NASA projects, the budget will remain relatively stable. NASA's largest manned space flight project, the space launch system (SLS) rocket and the Orion capsule, will also receive full funding, and even the SLS project will be allocated more than the required budget < p > NASA will also receive the full amount of $653 million requested by it to achieve the goal of returning Mars samples. The plan will bring samples collected by NASA's perseverance Rover back to earth. In addition, NASA's Sofia program will continue to receive financial support. The plan is to refit the Boeing 747 as a flight Observatory, after calls for the cancellation of the project < p > it is worth noting that even projects with higher budgets cannot spend all the money, including the development of manned lunar landers and commercial space stations. According to the proposal, these and other projects can only receive 40% of the allocated budget until the NASA director submits the Artemis plan and the multi-year plan of lunar efforts, including the dates and partnerships to achieve major milestones, as well as the estimated amount of funds to achieve these milestones. Therefore, although NASA's budget for some projects has increased, more work needs to be done before the money is put into use < p > not all of NASA's budget requests have been met. The agency plans to apply $1.425 billion for space technology development, but the comprehensive proposal is only willing to provide $1.1 billion, the same as that in 2021. The plan also uses $110 million for the development of nuclear thermal propulsion technology, but this part of the fund is not included in the government's budget proposal < p > meanwhile, NASA will receive $7.614 billion in funding for various scientific projects, which is $317 million less than the budget requirements, but still $300 million more than the funds received in 2021 < p > this comprehensive spending proposal has not yet become law. It needs to be voted by the US Senate and house of Representatives and finally submitted to President Biden for signature. (small) < / P > < p >
