A graphic showing NASA Heliophysics missions orbiting the Sun, Earth, and planets, overlaid with symbols indicating budget changes from FY2024 to FY2026 (FY25 is under a continuing resolution). Many missions are marked with: Red Xs, indicating proposed cancellations. These include: ACE, Wind, GOLD, GDC, THEMIS, THEMIS-ARTEMIS, MMS, IRIS, TIMED, AWE, IBEX, HERMES, and the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory. Red down arrows for missions facing funding reductions: Solar Orbiter, SDO, IMAP, MUSE, SOHO, Voyager, and STEREO. Green up arrows for missions seeing budget increases: Parker Solar Probe, SunRISE, PUNCH. Orange slashes on AWE and SOHO, signaling plans to terminate these missions after specific milestones. Text overlay states AWE will be canceled after Q2 2026; SOHO will end after NOAA’s SWFO-L1 launch; and no specific funding details are provided for HERMES or RAD. The background shows space and the solar system with the missions positioned according to their orbits. A QR code in the bottom right links to science.nasa.gov/heliophysics. Text notes the changes are based on the FY2026 budget technical supplement.

Here is a #NASA #heliophysics division-specific figure indicating the missions that the President's FY26 Budget Request would upend.

Heliophysics in the US would not survive this. We would go from woefully underfunded to nonexistent.
