"Budget Cuts Threaten Future of Chandra X-Ray Observatory"

NASA's FY2025 budget proposes significant cuts to space telescope operations, particularly impacting the Chandra X-ray Observatory, with its funding set to decrease from 68.3M USD in FY2023 to 5.2M USD by FY2029, potentially ending its flagship X-ray astronomy mission. Efforts to save Chandra include a petition and community outreach, as its continued operation is crucial for scientific research in astronomy and related fields.
