Abstract
NASA will focus on expanding support for a permanent human presence in space while maintaining level science funding for previously planned projects, said NASA Administrator Michael Griffin at a 5 February briefing regarding the agency's Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 budget request.The proposed FY2008 budget allots $17.3 billion for NASA, an increase of 3.1% over the proposed budget for FY2007. Much of the additional funds would go to exploration capabilities and space operations—which would get an 11% increase in funding for a total of approximately $6.8 billion—primarily for shuttle missions to continue assembly of the International Space Station (ISS) and for station and flight maintenance.
