But Artemis is still OK, so that's alright then
To put this in context, Chandra has enjoyed a prodigiously long mission, having managed more than 24 years of a planned five-year mission in orbit. It was deployed from Space Shuttle Columbia in 1999 and has been a boon to X-ray astronomers ever since.
The agency said in its justification for the budget request:"The Chandra spacecraft has been degrading over its mission lifetime to the extent that several systems require active management to keep temperatures within acceptable ranges for spacecraft operations. Rather than increase funding to meet costs, NASA has decided on a cut from $68.3 million in FY2023 to $41.1 million in FY2025's request, declining to $26.6 million in subsequent years and then $5.2 million in FY2029. To put that in perspective, the budget request for the veteran Voyager spacecraft is set to increase from $6.5 million to $7 million for FY2025, increasing to $7.6 million in FY2029.
