He has worked more than 13 years in both public and private accounting jobs and more than four years licensed as an insurance producer. His background in tax accounting has served as a solid base supporting his current book of business. It spurs technological advancements that contribute to our everyday lives. NASA partners with multiple private industries.
Its research has led to many products and services that go well beyond the scope of space exploration. It will be the first time a woman has landed on the moon. It plans to build a sustainable presence by This will be used as a launchpad to explore Mars. The U. The budget also provides incentives for private businesses to partner with the government on space station operations, deep-space exploration, and small satellite groups. The space economy includes commercial space products and services, commercial infrastructure, and support industries.
It also counts aerospace budgets in private companies. The space economy also includes eight U. NASA research leads to many of the goods and services we take for granted every day, such as weather and communication satellites.
Such technology has led specifically to things like GPS devices, based on technology developed by the Air Force for military applications. Other technologies developed for exploring space are now used to increase crop yields or search for good fishing regions.
A study by Professor H. Such benefits trickle down to everyday life. From through , NASA has created more than 2, inventions that later became products or services. NASA receives 0. The White House provides a detailed budget proposal to Congress every February which kicks off an annual process known as "appropriations" , which ultimately results in legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President that funds the federal government.
The President's Budget Request includes a justification and explanation for all of the space program's activities. It can also contain proposals to cancel projects or to begin new ones. The priorities reflected in the budget request reflect that of the President, and the document can just as easily be read as a political statement by the executive branch. The President's Budget Request does not carry the force of law, though it does set the terms of the debate for the legislation that is subsequently written by Congress.
Through this process, Congress decides whether to accept or reject proposals contained in the President's Budget Request and whether congressional funding levels for NASA's programs and initiatives will match, exceed, or fall short of the levels proposed by the President. The legislation must be passed by Congress and signed by the President before the start of the fiscal year on 1 October.
If not, NASA loses its authority to spend money and cannot honor contractual obligations, provide paychecks, or otherwise function. Note: Lessons 3 - 5 of The Planetary Society's free online course, Space Advocacy , explore this topic at greater depth. The brief passage about NASA spending offered little else about funding levels and priorities the White House has for the agency. The document did note that the budget provides funding for a number of ongoing missions in development, including the Mars Sample Return program and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, an astrophysics mission targeted for cancellation in several previous budget requests by the Trump administration.
However, the document does not spell out funding levels for those projects.
