NASA 2022: A Year of Innovation
This budget shows President Biden’s strong support for NASA
and will enable us to achieve our ambitious goals across exploration, technology, aeronautics, and science.
Touchdown confirmed. Perseverance safely on the surface of Mars.
I received a call of congratulations from the president.
He was so inspired by what we were able to accomplish.
Ready to begin seeking the sands of past life.
This budget allows NASA to address the climate change challenge in more significant ways than we’ve had in the past.
It allows us to understand the Earth as a system, from the oceans to the atmosphere.
The upcoming year is also going to be a very ambitious year for NASA and our programs.
Aeronautics has been charged with developing a more environmentally-friendly aviation system.
One of them is the X-57 Maxwell flight demonstrator.
Another really large milestone is the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope.
It’s going to enable amazing science research,
including literally looking back in time.
The administration early on expressed their strong support for the objectives of the Artemis program and our Moon to Mars plan.
Space Launch System
Orion Capsule
Gateway
Human Landing System
Which are the backbone of our exploration plans and our plans for Artemis.
Through the Artemis program,
the United States government will work with industry and international partners to send astronauts to the surface of the Moon.
We also have a robust robotic exploration program through the Commercial Lunar Payload Services activities, with our commercial partners.
The NASA workforce, our commercial partners, and our international partners should be really encouraged by this budget.
Zero, ignition, liftoff.
NASA’s exciting mission and missions inspire the nation, inspire the next generation of scientists, engineers, and explorers.
We will need that generation, including a diverse and more inclusive workforce,
to be able to accomplish the ambitious goals that we’ve set out for NASA.
Like landing the first woman and first person of color on the Moon.
