NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans East is facing proposed federal budget cuts.
Local officials are concerned about the possibility of job losses at the plant. President Trump's latest budget proposal calls for NASA to lose up to 25 percent of its funding.
Michoud builds rockets for the Artemis mission, which could be affected by the budget cuts.
Greater New Orleans Inc. says negotiations are underway in the Senate to restore billions of dollars to NASA.
