The Webb Space Telescope mission is threatened—not by anything in the desolate outskirts of the Sun, but by potential budget cuts.
Webb is performing better than expected, astronomers say, but reduced funding for the telescope's operation could jeopardize the rate and quality of the mission's outputs. The funding shortfall could reduce the mission's effectiveness as early as fall 2025, according to SpaceNews .
According to a presentation by Brown shared at a town hall earlier this month, Webb's operational costs were set ⁘idealistically low in 2011.⁘ Combined with higher-than-expected inflation and less flexibility in NASA's budget, Webb faces a budget shortfall even with flat top-level funding.
⁘If the budget reductions went into effect, the impact would cut across all aspects of operations,⁘ Brown told Gizmodo in an email. Everything from solicitation and peer review of programs, to planning and scheduling of observations, to data calibration and analysis, public outreach, and more would be affected by the proposed reductions to Webb's budget.
Webb had a surprisingly perfect launch into space in December 2020, meaning that less fuel was used getting the telescope into space than expected. The saved fuel meant that the mission's lifetime will be longer than scientists projected—perhaps up to 20 years, up from a minimum mission baseline of five years.
