NASA terminated $420 million in “unneeded contracts,” according to the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ), an entity established by executive order to slash costs across the federal government.

DOGE is not a government department but has broad authority under Elon Musk to tighten the belt across governmental agencies.

In late January , NASA closed offices related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility and cancelled contracts related to the agency's work.
