  • Summary

  • Welcome to this week's NASA update. Today, we're diving into the latest news and developments from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

    First off, let's talk about the big headline this week. NASA is hosting a media teleconference today to discuss the agency's science and technology flying aboard Intuitive Machines' second flight to the Moon. This mission is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services, or CLPS, which aims to leverage commercial partnerships to advance lunar exploration[1].

    In other news, NASA's Kennedy Space Center is gearing up for an exciting year in 2025. The center is expecting to launch more than 90 government, commercial, and private missions, including two crew rotation missions to the International Space Station with SpaceX[4].

    On the budget front, the President's FY 2025 funding for NASA includes investments in the Artemis campaign, climate science, and space industry technology. The budget provides $1.2 billion for NASA's space technology portfolio and $966 million for the aeronautics program, which will focus on developing hybrid-electric jet engines and lightweight aircraft structures[5].

    These investments will have significant impacts on American citizens, businesses, and organizations. For example, the Artemis campaign is expected to create new jobs and opportunities in the space industry, while the aeronautics program will help develop more efficient and environmentally friendly commercial airliners.

    As NASA Administrator Bill Nelson put it, "An investment in NASA is an investment in America for the benefit of humanity." He added that the President's budget will fund the nation's abilities and leadership for the future of space exploration, scientific discovery, and cutting-edge technology[5].

    Looking ahead, NASA has several key milestones planned for FY 2025, including the launch of the Europa Clipper mission, the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover, and the Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer[2].
