  • NASA is closing three offices and laying off their staff as a first step in broader workforce reductions at the agency ordered by the Trump administration.

NASA is undergoing significant organizational changes as it prepares for larger workforce reductions, prompted by the need to reallocate resources towards new priorities like the Artemis program and Mars exploration. The agency has already closed several offices, including the Office of Strategic Infrastructure and the Office of Small Business Programs, and has laid off staff from these and other departments. These actions are part of a broader strategy to streamline operations and reduce costs, with NASA Administrator Bill Nelson emphasizing the necessity of these moves to fund critical future missions. The layoffs and office closures are expected to continue, with more significant cuts anticipated in the coming months, affecting various sectors of NASA's workforce. This restructuring aims to enhance efficiency and focus on key strategic goals, despite the immediate impact on employees and ongoing projects.
