<h1>Parliamentary Panel Concerned Over Budget Cuts for NASA-ISRO Mission and India's Gaganyaan Program; Future Funding Adjustments Planned.</h1> A parliamentary panel expressed concern over significant budget cuts for the NASA-ISRO mission to the International Space Station, which involves an Indian astronaut. The Department of Space explained that the budget reduction for 2024-25 was due to the mission's deferral to the next financial year, but assured that collaboration with NASA and Axiom Space continues. The budget for 2025-26 was also reduced, impacting planned initiatives. The committee also noted repeated budget cuts for India's Gaganyaan programme. Despite these reductions, the department maintains that major mission milestones are on track, with future funding adjustments planned.
