Basic Facts On Feb 1, NASA released their proposed 2011
budget as part of President Obama’s proposed 2011 National Budget

NASA’s New Budget Budget outlook was bumped from $94 billion to $100
billion over 5 years (2011-2015) Cancellation of Constellation at a multi-year cost that will
total $11.5 billion Funding for last shuttle launches in 2010 (can push into
2011 for delays) $7.8 billion to fund technology demonstration program
(funds private companies to develop in-orbit refueling and propellant storage and autonomous rendezvous and docking etc)
$3 billion per year to fully utilize the ISS $6 billion over 5 years for “FedEx” delivery services to ISS
Upside Lots of money for new space technologies Lots of money (ramps up) to develop better heavy-
lift (think Saturn V) propulsion $125 million (2011) growing to ~$1 billion (2015)
for robotic missions Money to keep ISS to 2020 and beyond Support for private space companies to provide
launch services Doubling of funds to $1 billion (2015) for
Innovative Prize-based funding projects Steady growth of Science/Physics budgets
Downside No more Constellation program No plans to go (humans) to moon,
Mars, or elsewhere. Final shut down of Shuttle No increased education funding No major increases in NASA funding (+
$6 billion = 6.4% increase) If my numbers are right, would only
keep up with a inflation rate of 0.30% (lowest in past 40 yrs was 1.8%)
