Quote from: Roll Call
The Biden administration plans to release its fiscal 2022 budget request on May 28 and not May 27 as previously announced, according to the Office of Management and Budget.

An observation. This hearing had Administrator Senator Nelson making several requests for funding, which is not something I recall NASA Administrators usually doing. Hasn't it been the Presidents budget that makes the requests and the administrator normally doesn't ask for any more money than that. In fact the normal response is the money we have is what we need. Nelson did refer to 'little birdies' giving a clue about the Presidents budget in a couple instances about specific requests.

I suppose the pandemic, and need for economic recovery are good reasons for changing it up. Or my recollection of testimonies in the years past are flawed.

Nelson said that Agencies were asked what kind of funding they would need in the Jobs bill. Apparently, NASA sent a letter to Congress asking for specific amounts for the Jobs bill. Bridenstine had also mentioned that NASA would ask for extra funding for Artemis/HLS in the infrastructure bill (now called the Jobs bill).

Nelson did a good job of glad-handing and appeal for Jobs and Infrastructure $ in support of HLS (and specific districts and NASA centers). Would not expect less from him; he's very good at it. What it means for Artemis in actual $ is TBD.

edit: p.s. and Nelson played the China card (expected). Nothing more likely to get USG back up.

Here is the archived video of the House hearing:



Discussions of HLS are at 1h3m, 1h18m and 1h27m of the video.

...

Yeah, slogged through all of it. Not much new to see-hear: (1) current HLS award is what it is, pending GAO disposition (Nelson was quite clear on that); (2) appropriations will determine future path of HLS, in particular with respect to competition (which Nelson was also quite clear on); and (3) China! (which Nelson brought up more than once).

I had to time out early. As I left, Rep. Aderholt was talking about using SLS not just for Orion but for cargo too (implicit, I suppose, in his support for EUS). Did Nelson say anything about cargo missions for SLS?

No, not specifically.

No Aderholt just asked for a list of SLS cargo missions. Nelson said that he would provide that to him after the Budget (on May 28th). 

P.S. As far as I know, as of now, there are no SLS cargo missions.

There was only one: Europa Clipper. But that is in the process of being moved to a commercial launcher (most likely FH).

Nelson's testimony at the House hearing:

Quote from: Administrator Sen Nelson
On April 16, 2021, NASA announced it had selected SpaceX to continue development of the first commercial human lander that will safely carry the next two American astronauts to the lunar surface. The firm-fixed price, milestone-based contract total award value is $2.89 billion. This Human Landing System contract award, with the goal of a human demonstration to the lunar surface by 2024, is under protest as of this time. In parallel with executing the Appendix H award for the first crewed landing, NASA is preparing to have a robust competition for the procurement for sustainable commercial crewed lunar surface transportation services. These services will provide human access to the lunar surface using the Gateway on a regularly recurring basis beyond the initial crewed demonstration mission. By taking a collaborative approach in working with industry and international partners while leveraging NASA’s proven technical expertise and capabilities, we will return American astronauts to the Moon’s surface once again, this time to explore new areas for longer periods of time.
