摘要

Two NASA astronomy missions put in jeopardy by technical and budget issues have survived their near-death experiences but still must deal with constrained funding, project officials told astronomers. At a "town hall" session of the 225th meeting of the American Astronomical Society here Jan. 5, representatives of NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) project said the airborne observatory is in good shape after Congress largely restored funding for it in the 2015 omnibus spending bill passed in December. SOFIA was in danger of being mothballed when NASA's 2015 budget request sought only $12.3 million for the project, down from $87.4 million in 2014. NASA said in the request that if it could not find partners to take over the agency's share of operations, it would place SOFIA in storage in 2015. The omnibus bill instead provided SOFIA with $70 million, allowing the project to continue, although with 20 percent less funding than 2014. "There will be some impacts due to the cut for this year," SOFIA project scientist Pamela Marcum said at the town hall meeting.
