Short Term CR Passes, NASA Still in Limbo

Short Term CR Passes, NASA Still in Limbo

The Senate and House passed the short-term Continuing Resolution that funds the government through March 4, 2011.

As far as we can tell, there are no exceptions or special language for NASA, leaving the agency in limbo with regard to the Constellation language in the FY2010 Consolidated Appropriations Act that says it cannot cancel the Constellation program or initiate a replacement until Congress approves such action. The short term CR also funds the agency at last year’s level, $18.7 billion.
