What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill renews funding and authority for NASA's programs and activities through the year 2026. It tells NASA to keep using the International Space Station for as long as it's running, plan for how to safely bring it down from orbit when it's retired, and report to Congress on what happens to science research once the station is gone. The bill also directs NASA to keep working on sending astronauts to the Moon and Mars, including through partnerships with private companies, and allows NASA to work with commercial companies to develop new privately owned space stations. Additionally, NASA is required to continue research on drones, advanced air travel, and high-speed flight technologies.
