NASA expected to detail costs for fast-track moon landing program next month

Post by smp »


From SpaceFlightNow.com:
"NASA will release a budget profile with a cost estimate for the agency’s Artemis moon landing program in February in conjunction with the White House’s fiscal year 2021 budget request, according to NASA’s deputy administrator.

An official estimate for the total cost for NASA’s accelerated Artemis moon landing program, in which the agency aims to return humans to the lunar surface in 2024, has not been released since the 2024 schedule goal was announced by Vice President Mike Pence last March."
