The Department of Defense (DoD) announced it would phase out its participation in the [[National Aerospace Plane]] program, reducing funding for the project by $200 million in fiscal year 1990 and obligating its remaining $100 million contribution to NASA. The [[National Aerospace Plane]] was proposed by President Reagan as a hypersonic vehicle that would be capable of taking off from conventional runways and subsequently boosting itself into low-Earth orbit. Total project development costs were estimated at $3.5 billion, of which 80 percent would come from the DoD and 20 percent would be provided by NASA. DoD and NASA had already invested $850 million to develop an [[X-30]] experimental prototype vehicle.
