The rating is the best possible audit opinion, certifying that NASA\u2019s financial statements conform with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for federal agencies and accurately present the agency\u2019s financial position.<\/p>\n

\u201cNASA has delivered a complete and reliable report of our fiscal operations, critical to our success for the Golden Age of exploration and innovation,\u201d said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman. \u201cNASA\u2019s mission drives innovation in space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics, pushing the boundaries of what\u2019s possible. Our fiscal year 2025 budget fuels economic growth, drives the growing space economy, and keeps America first amidst increasing global competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a02025 Agency Financial Report<\/a> provides key financial and performance information and demonstrates the agency\u2019s commitment to transparency in the use of American taxpayers\u2019 dollars. In addition, the 2025 report presents progress during the past year, and spotlights the array of NASA missions, objectives, and workforce advanced with these financial resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis achievement reflects our team’s diligent stewardship of NASA’s resources, including our commitment to responsibly managing taxpayers’ dollars entrusted to the agency,\u201d said Sidney Schmidt, NASA\u2019s acting chief financial officer. \u201cTheir unwavering dedication to sound financial management and robust internal controls ensures we uphold public trust. Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved for your commendable efforts and hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fiscal year 2025, NASA marked significant progress toward the Artemis II test flight. Targeted to launch no earlier than Friday, Feb. 6, the Artemis II mission will send four astronauts around the Moon and back to test the systems and hardware which will return humanity to the lunar surface. NASA and its partners landed two robotic science missions on the Moon, welcomed seven new signatory countries to the Artemis Accords, and advanced medical and technological experiments for long-duration space missions like hand-held X-ray equipment and navigation capabilities.<\/p>\n

NASA also led a variety of science discoveries, including launching a joint satellite mission with India to regularly monitor Earth\u2019s land and ice-covered surfaces, as well as identifying and tracking the third interstellar object in our solar system; achieved 25 continuous years of human presence aboard the International Space Station; and, for the first time, flew a test flight of the agency\u2019s X-59 supersonic plane that will help revolutionize air travel.<\/p>\n
