Two large NASA projects the Jupiter mission and a space telescope face Senate and House opposition over funding in the new budget year. Jupiter seeks 20.7 million start funds toward an 1982 launch with total costs around 285 million, while the telescope aims for 20 million initially toward a 435 million program goal by 1983.
