On March 21st, 2018, both branches of Congress passed the United States’ Consolidated Appropriations Act, finalizing spending for the 2018 fiscal year. This omnibus spending bill clocks in at 2,232 pagesand a total budget of $1.3 trillion, and despite initial threats by the President to veto the legislation, it was signed into law on Friday, March 23rd. Under President Trump’s earlier proposal, many science-and-education-based organizations were facing dramatic potential cuts, including multiple branches of the Department of Energy, the Department of Education, the EPA, the US Geological Service, the National Institutes of Health, NOAA, and the National Science Foundation. But in an unprecedented move, the administration proposed cancelling the flagship mission of NASA Astrophysics for the decade of the 2020s: WFIRST, along with many other cuts to NASA. Thankfully, many of these cuts didn’t make it through. Let’s examine the winners and losers.

Four of these five missions have had their funding restored:

    the Plankton; Aerosol; Cloud; ocean Ecosystem (PACE);
    the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-3 (OCO-3);
    the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR)’s Earth-viewing instruments;
    and the Climate Absolute Radiance and Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) Pathfinder.

這5個地球科學專案任務中有4個已經恢復了資金：


　　1、浮游生物、氣溶膠、雲、海洋生態系統（PACE）

　　2、軌道碳觀測站-3（OCO-3）

　　3、深空氣候觀測站(DSCOVR)地球觀測儀器

　　4、氣候絕對輻射和折射觀測臺(CLARREO)探路者 
第五的輻射預測工具(RBI)仍然被取消，這旨在監測地球氣候的未來大型任務沒有得到官方的支持，威脅到長期生存能力

WFIRST的全額資金已經恢復（1.5億美元）用於當前週期，其早期營運將按計劃繼續進行。然而這絕不會消除2019年專案被徹底取消的風險
