The budget for NASA's fiscal year FY 2020 is $22.6 billion (or around 1,58,036 crore), with an average of $19 billion every year, according to Gunjan Yadav (B.Tech.We visited Quora and looked at many responses and individual opinions that described what ISRO might have done if they had NASA's budget. So, if NASA has a budget of $100, ISRO has a budget of $10. Take into account that ISRO manages all these space endeavours with a budget that is tenth that of NASA. Even the delayed launch of the first manned Gaganyaan spacecraft in 2023 is planned. Consider this: the ISRO intends to launch spacecraft to Venus, Jupiter, and the Sun. There is a serious issue if ISRO had the same budget as NASA and other major space agencies, they would have the same prestige.

The Mangalyaan spacecraft then successfully entered orbit around Mars in 2014, a feat that ISRO remarkably accomplished on its first try. In other words, whereas NASA and ESA have received more attention throughout the years, ISRO is still languishing behind them.Ĭhandrayaan-1, an Indian probe, orbited the moon for the first time in 2008. The choice Washington is making is regrettably clear.Indian Space Research Organization has altered the country's space industry recently. You can either talk about going to the moon or you can actually spend the money and go. But please, no more promises of crewed moon landings in 2024 or even 2025 or 2026 if you’re not going to cut the checks to make the missions possible. And if the decision has been made that space is a lower-tier enterprise than it was half a century ago, that that is within Congress’s authority. The government has its spending priorities, yes. By contrast, 15 different Apollo capsules carried 15 different crews from just 1968 to 1974. Orion has been in development in one form or another since 2004 and has never yet carried a crew. Similarly, the Orion spacecraft-the modern-day version of the Apollo orbiter-was budgeted at just $1.4 billion this year. Back in the Apollo days, 11 Saturn Vs were launched-nine of them on crewed lunar missions-from just 1968 to 1972. Then too, there’s the SLS (the 21st century Saturn V moon rocket), which is budgeted at just $2.6 billion for 2022, a funding level that allows for launching one rocket per year. If you want to know why that much-touted 2024 date for getting boots back on the moon-under the new Artemis program-has slipped to a more generalized “sometime this decade,” look no further than the HLS. That’s good as far as it goes, but remains less than half of what NASA needs to build the ship for real. This year NASA lowered its sights, requesting $1.195 billion-and getting it. Congress responded with a check for just $850 million, barely enough for basic R&D. In 2020, NASA requested $3.4 billion to build its Human Landing System (HLS)-a 21st century lunar module to carry astronauts down to the surface of the moon from lunar orbit. The details of the spending bill reveal a lot about why it has been half a century since human beings last landed on the moon. That generous annual funding is worth contemplating this week when, as SpaceNews reports, Congress completed work on an omnibus spending bill that allocates the space agency just over $24 billion dollars-or $760 million less than the White House requested, and less than half of what the space agency was getting back in its golden era.
