The subcommittee met at 2:07 p.m., in room SD-192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Jeanne Shaheen (Chairwoman) pre- siding. Present: Senators Shaheen, Manchin, Van Hollen, Moran, Booz- man, Capito, Kennedy, and Braun. NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JEANNE SHAHEEN Senator SHAHEEN. At this time I would like to call the Sub- committee on Commerce, Justice, and Science and Related Agen- cies of the Senate Appropriations Committee to order. Good afternoon. As I said, we hope that we will be joined, as soon as the caucuses are ended, by some of the other Members of the subcommittee, but for now, I am pleased to be joined by my Vice Chair, Senator Moran, and for the hearing with the new NASA Ad- ministrator, Bill Nelson, who we are so pleased to be able to wel- come back to the Senate. Now since in his previous capacity, Administrator Nelson rep- resented the State of Florida and did a very good job of pointing out the importance of Florida to our space program. I would like to begin by being a little parochial and talking about the fact that my home State of New Hampshire is also a space State. We had the first U.S. man in space, was from New Hamp- shire, Alan Shepard, and of course our teacher in space, Christa McAuliffe was also from New Hampshire. New Hampshire made parts that provide communications, thermal protection, fluid trans- fer, and more, for NASA missions operating in deep space. We still build and operate major instruments on NASA satellites to study solar physics, the Moon, and the Earth. We are very pleased that at the University of New Hampshire we have one of the most ex- pansive and best-regarded heliophysics programs in the country. We are very ready in New Hampshire to contribute across the board to the exciting science exploration and aeronautics included in NASA's $24.8 billion budget request, this represents $1.5 billion or 6.7 percent increase above the fiscal year 2021 level.
