I suspect someone may have already done this... I took the current NASA Earth fleet chart of operating and planned Earth observing missions and crossed out those recommended for cancellation in the President's budget request. It's disturbing.

Keith Cowing noted the impact on the NASA workforce that this huge, planned budget reduction would have. So far, NASA has avoided the huge reductions in force that other agencies have endured. This will be a massacre of highly talented people. So much for US preeminence in science...

The full President's FY26 budget request for NASA is out.
www.nasa.gov/fy-2026-budg...
Some stand out numbers: the Earth science budget is down by more than 50% compared to FY24. Earth science research is down from $380.6M in FY24 to $189.4M in FY26. SAGE III/ISS and DSCOVR will be shut off.
