NASA
Funding Enacted
President
Clinton signed into law a bill funding NASA for the coming two
years. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
Authorization Act of 2000 permits the space agency to spend US$14.2
billion in 2001 and US$14.6 billion in 2002, but places a cap on
further spending on the International Space Station (ISS). The bill
caps the agency's space station spending at US$25 billion on
building the ISS and US$17.7 billion on space shuttle missions
necessary to haul supplies and materials to the orbiting
construction zone.
