The space agency says it will help meet the White House mandate to get humans to the lunar surface by 2024.
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine speaks at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla., on Thursday. By Christian Davenport Christian Davenport Reporter covering the defense and space industries Email Bio Follow May 23 at 2:19 PM Since March, when Vice President Pence suddenly announced a crash program to get humans to the surface of the moon by 2024, NASA has been scrambling to pull off what many think is a near-impossible feat.
Maxar Technologies, a company based in Colorado, will build what’s known as the power and propulsion element of the orbiting outpost, known as the Gateway. To make the 2024 deadline, the White House increased its budget request by $1.6 billion. But it has not said how much the entire program would cost.“We’re still left with a lot of unanswered questions about how we get to 2024,” Rep. Kendra Horn , chair of a subcommittee that oversees NASA, said in a recent interview.
“We’re going to need more rocket scientists, not fewer,” she said. “Pell Grants is an important program.”
