Flipitmoney
NASA requires around 3,000 employees to work part-time or full-time, including those at SpaceX and Blue Origin, during the govt shutdown. Their work will be unpaid but logged for possible payment after the shutdown. Supported projects include Artemis operations, International Space Station, and satellite missions in the operations phase, with furloughing around 15,000 people due to funding lapse.
