美国参众两院在10月2日批准航宇局1992年最后预算额为143亿美元,随即送交布什总统签字生效。并从10月1日起执行。1992年预算仅高于1991年139亿的3％(白宫申请153亿美元,增加10％),扣除年度通货膨胀,实际预算额还比1991年的少。由于预算额的限制,必将阻碍航宇局增加新空间计划。航宇局期望1993年能增加5％。 On October 2, the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives approved the final budget of the Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1992 at 14.3 billion U.S. dollars, and it will be sent to President Bush for signature. It will be executed from October 1st. The 1992 budget was only 3% higher than the 13.9 billion in 1991 (the White House applied for 15.3 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 10%). After deducting annual inflation, the actual budget was still smaller than in 1991. Due to the limited budget, it will hinder the Aerospace Administration from adding new space plans. The Aerospace Administration expects a 5% increase in 1993.
