In this special fiscal 2010 budget issue, Space & Missile Defense Report describes in detail how President Obama’s federal budget outline for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2010, provides level funding for NASA, with little relief from the half-decade gap where the United States will have no ability to take its astronauts to space.
And this issue also details how some U.S. missile defense programs may face enormous budget cuts, how proponents attempt to justify those cuts, and the reaction of experts who say those funding reductions would not only devastate missile defense development, but also would imperil the United States and its allies.
These stories provide telling insights into the final, detailed fiscal 2010 federal budget that Obama will release and send to Congress next month.
