Highly specialized equipment is at risk of being thrown away like trash, according to internal communications reviewed by CNN. For instance, a building housing Goddard’s ElectroMagnetic Anechoic Chamber (GEMAC), an extremely important piece of equipment for testing spacecraft antennas, is being shuttered. A NASA spokesperson told the broadcaster that the closures are all part of an existing “strategic consolidation” plan that shouldn’t impact existing projects. “Getting rid of Goddard removes the entire nation’s capability to build, develop and analyze data from space science satellites,” a Goddard engineer told CNN. An agency spokesperson told CNN that NASA is “planning for multiple FY26 scenarios,” but will still “continue to comply with the law.”More on NASA: NASA Issues Horrified Response to Kim Kardashian
