NASA's OSIRIS-APEX Mission Saved from Budget Cuts
NASA's OSIRIS-APEX mission has been saved from cancellation in a last-minute decision, with a $20 million allocation in the House budget bill to continue basic operations for the next fiscal year.
"We were incredibly relieved and grateful," said Dani Mendoza DellaGiustina, principal investigator of OSIRIS-APEX at the University of Arizona.
The mission aims to fly a spaceship alongside a potentially hazardous asteroid in 2029, known as the "God of Chaos" asteroid.
- The OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft was one of 19 missions initially designated for cancellation by the Trump administration.
- The fate of 18 other NASA missions remains unclear due to the ongoing government shutdown.
