The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), representing over 320 aerospace manufacturers and suppliers and more than 2 million U.S. workers, urges Congress to stabilize NASA and NOAA funding after cuts in the FY24 appropriations cycle. With inflationary pressures, the President’s FY25 budget request represents a $2 billion loss in buying power for NASA since 2020. Accordingly, AIA urges Congress to consider the President’s request a floor for setting FY25 funding levels, and fund NASA and NOAA’s space accounts at no less than the President’s request of $25.384 billion, and $2.14 billion, respectively.
