NASA is asking Congress for a $25.2 billion budget next year, a 12% increase from last year, and that will likely be a boon for companies across the space industry.
“It will take a broad coalition to get back to the moon, and NASA is motivated to make it happen,” Rob Meyerson, an industry consultant and former president of Blue Origin, told CNBC.
Companies that will likely benefit from NASA’s budget include Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Aerojet Rocketdyne, SpaceX, Blue Origin, Northrop Grumman, Sierra Nevada Corp. and more.
