Keith’s note: While Russian media continues to post news stories, not a single world from NASA or Sean Duffy. So much for transparency. Or is the Administration up to something that prompts the Russians to say nice things? See “Russia and U.S. Agree to Extend International Space Station Operations to 2028“ in The Moscow Times.

Keith’s note: Space analyst Laura Seward Forczyk just tweeted that the ISS Research & Development Conference has been cancelled. If this is true (and my sources tell me that it really is true) then NASA has decided to stop telling people why LEO research is important. The FY 2026 budget reduces research on ISS – but does not cancel it. OMB documents talk about commercial LEO space stations picking up […] The post ISS Research & Development Conference Cancellation appeared first on NASA ...| Commercialization Archives - NASA Watch

Keith’s note: The “skinny” FY 2026 White House budget proposal tells NASA to “reduce the space station’s crew size and onboard research”. In advance of an actual budget, NASA is already preparing to implement deep cuts. Soon. According to sources, NASA-funded ISS science will soon be hit with a 50% reduction. The JSC Flight Operations Directorate (FOD) and the MSFC Payload and Mission Operations Division (PMOD) are being asked to […] The post Large Space Station Cuts Are Planned...| Exploration Archives - NASA Watch
