The Trump administration's proposed budget for NASA's fiscal year 2026 suggests a significant reduction of 20% overall, targeting a 50% cut in the Science Mission Directorate. This includes severe reductions to astrophysics, heliophysics, Earth science, and planetary science funding, potentially canceling projects like the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. While NASA's continuation of projects like Hubble and Webb is supported, there's concern over potential closures and impacts on American space leadership. Fierce opposition in Congress is expected.
