• NASA stimulates the U.S. economy in all 50 states through funded 

research, contracts, industry collaborations and the creation of jobs. 

This budget will benefit people in the U.S. and around the world.

• This budget enables further development of industry collaborations 

to support the continued growth of a robust space economy in lowEarth orbit anchored by the ISS, and further expansion at the Moon.

• $1.4 billion for Space Technology research and development will 

help NASA support commercial space expansion. 

• $970 million for Aeronautics research that will help maintain U.S. 

leadership in aircraft development and improve aviation.

• $285 million in direct investment for small business innovative 

research and technology transfer will bring the benefits of NASA 

research to more businesses and people.

exploration by demonstrating capabilities that advance lunar exploration.By September 30, 2023, NASA will launch Artemis I, deliver 

the Core Stage for Artemis II to Kennedy Space Center for processing, and have multiple companies under contract to develop systems 

for sustainable human lunar exploration.

Space 

Technology 

Leadership

Ensure American global leadership in space technology innovations through increased partnering with industry and demonstrating 

key lunar surface and deep space technologies. By September 30, 2023: NASA will demonstrate leadership in space technology by:

• Enhancing partnerships with industry through delivery or completion of milestones for at least 4 Tipping Point opportunities, and 

at least 3 critical small business technology transitions to develop capabilities that support NASA and commercial needs;

• Testing and delivering at least 3 new technologies that will be demonstrated on the lunar surface or in lunar orbit; and
