White House proposes $18.8B FY2027 NASA budget — a 23% cut hitting science, ISS and Artemis

The White House’s FY2027 "skinny" budget requests $18.8 billion for NASA, a 23% reduction from FY2026 that would deeply cut science, STEM programs, International Space Station support and portions of Artemis funding. Advocacy groups urged Congress to reject the proposal and lawmakers are expected to push back as they did last year.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The request is $18.8 billion — a 23% reduction versus 2026 — explicitly targeting science, STEM, ISS and Artemis lines; Congress preserved agency funding after a similar fight last year funding battle context.
  • Deep cuts would force program tradeoffs and schedule risk for crewed lunar activity and mission manifests, coming as Artemis operations and crewed lunar activity advance Artemis II and program changes.
  • Planetary science and mission commitments are already facing reductions; the request increases the risk of cancelled or downscoped missions and international funding gaps planetary science pressure example.
