Expectations for civil space activities exceed the budget allotted to the current program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In considering the NASA budget for fiscal year 1988, the Congress will have to decide how much of the present NASA program can be afforded as it competes with other important spending priorities and as it starts to recover from the Challenger accident and its consequences. The most immediate consequence has been to increase the cost of all space activity at the very time that NASA was turning to its next major program and budget commitment, a permanently manned space station to be deployed in the mid-1990s. No less significant, but less direct, is a reexamination of major aspects of the currently planned program. In order to continue NASA's agenda at its preaccident level, the analysis estimates that the cost of program additions in space transportation, space science, and the space station would increase the NASA budget by $14.0 billion above the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) baseline for fiscal years 1988 through 1992.
