Shelby and Friends Fight To Save Doomed MSFC Lunar Office
Shelby: Don’t shut robotics office, Huntsville Times
“U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby and key Democrats in Congress are pressuring the NASA administrator to reverse a plan to shut down a lunar robotics office at Marshall Space Flight Center. Shelby, R-Tuscaloosa, worked with Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., and U.S. Rep. Alan Mollohan, D-W.Va., to write a letter directing NASA to restore $20 million for the Lunar Precursor and Robotics Program office. Mikulski and Mollohan chair subcommittees that oversee NASA’s budget.”
