NASA and NOAA Trump Funding Cuts Jeopardize These Key Climate and Space Projects
SHARE

The US government’s spending plans under President Donald Trump’s administration are causing concern among scientists and science advocates. Preliminary copies of the proposed budget reveal significant cuts to climate and space science programs across various agencies. NASA’s science budget for the fiscal year 2026 is set to be slashed by nearly half, to $3.9 billion, while the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) faces a 27% cut to its 2026 budget, down to $4.5 billion.

The leaked documents outlining these cuts have sparked outrage within the scientific community. Casey Dreier, chief of space policy for the Planetary Society, describes it as a “wholesale dismantling of NASA’s scientific fleet and the pipeline of future missions.” Similarly, Zoe Lofgren, a member of the US House of Representatives, labels the budget plan for NOAA as “outrageous and dangerous,” stating that it will leave NOAA severely depleted.

While these proposed cuts are not yet final, they raise alarms about the future of crucial research initiatives. The potential slashing of funding for climate modeling, ocean monitoring, and space exploration projects could have far-reaching consequences. Scientists fear that the Trump administration is turning its back on essential research that is vital for understanding long-term climate and environmental impacts.

Among the programs at risk is NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), which faces a 74% budget cut, defunding many climate, weather, and ocean-related projects. Additionally, plans to cancel next-generation Earth-observing satellites at NASA and NOAA could hinder weather and climate forecasting efforts. The proposed elimination of missions to Venus and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope further underscore the potential setbacks in space exploration.

The fate of these programs lies in the hands of Congress, which ultimately determines spending priorities. However, recent trends indicate that the Trump administration is determined to prioritize budget cuts, defying traditional funding mandates. Scientists warn that the administration could cause significant damage to research efforts if given the leeway to reallocate funds as per its discretion.

As the budget proposal moves through the approval process, the scientific community remains on edge, watching closely to see how these proposed cuts will impact their work. The future of climate and space science hangs in the balance, as scientists and advocates brace for potential setbacks in crucial research endeavors.
