Bolden to Hold Media Telecon on FY2014 Budget Request on Wednesday
NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden will hold a media teleconference to discuss the agency’s FY2014 budget request on Wednesday, April 10.
The telecon will be held at 3:00 pm ET and anyone who wishes may listen in at NASA’s news audio website. NASA’s budget materials will be posted on the agency’s budget website at 1:00 pm ET that day.
Word that the budget request includes about $100 million for work on the concept of robotically capturing an asteroid and bringing it to the Earth-Moon system for study by astronauts has heightened interest in this year’s request.
Bolden’s media teleconference will take place while the House Science, Space and Technology Committee is holding its second hearing on the threat to Earth posed by asteroids. That hearing begins at 2:00 pm ET. The hearing should be available via webcast on the committee’s website.
