What the document says
“maintenance, and operation of mission and administrative aircraft, $4,175,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2027.”
The space operations account of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which pays for flying and supporting missions already in space. The money stays available through September 30, 2027.
What the document actually says
“maintenance, and operation of mission and administrative aircraft, $4,175,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2027.”
That sentence, in plain words
This gives NASA $4,175,000,000 to fly what is up there now. The money can be used until September 30, 2027.
What this is about
This pays to run things already flying. That includes the space station. It also covers the radio links that reach them.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
