The National Aeronautics and Space Administration: Overview, FY2006 Budget in Brief, and Key Issues for Congress

Abstract

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) conducts U.S. civilian space activities. For FY2006, NASA requested $16,456.3 million. Congress appropriated $16,456.8 million, $500,000 above the request, in the FY2006 Science, State, Justice, Commerce appropriations act (P.L. 109-108), subject to a 0.28% rescission in that act, and a 1% rescission in another appropriations act (P.L. 109-148). The latter act also adds $350 million for NASA for hurricane recovery. Congress passed a FY2007-2008 NASA authorization act (P.L. 109-155) that does not include FY2006 funding. This is the final edition of this report.
