White House budget proposal would phase out SLS and Orion, scale back ISS operations

The White House is proposing to phase out SLS and Orion spacecraft as well as reduce ISS operations in its fiscal year 2026 budget request.
The White House's fiscal year 2023 budget proposal, released on March 28, 2022, suggests phasing out NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) and Orion spacecraft after their current commitments, redirecting funds to support the development of commercial alternatives for deep space missions. The proposal also includes scaling back operations on the International Space Station (ISS) to prepare for its eventual decommissioning by 2030, with a focus on transitioning to commercially operated space stations. The budget allocates $24.8 billion to NASA, a slight increase from the previous year, but it emphasizes a shift towards investing in new technologies and commercial partnerships, such as the Artemis program's Human Landing System and the Lunar Gateway, while reducing reliance on traditional government-led projects.
