“The FY 2024 budget request for NASA is $27.2 billion (7.1% increase over FY 2023 enacted),” the release said. “Specifically, this budget requests $8.125 billion to return American astronauts to the Moon, including the first woman and first person of color, to establish a sustainable lunar presence and lay the groundwork for humanity’s first crewed mission to Mars.”
NASA seeks through the requested funding to also support continued human presence in low-Earth orbit with operations of the International Space Station through 2030, the release said.
