National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Alaska

NASA awards tagged to Alaska

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Alaska as place-of-performance: 98 records summing to $98,586,104.10. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside AK is out. An award in Alaska from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Alaska (AK) excludes Washington, Oregon, and Canada. A Seattle-coded award is WA even if a payload later flies from Alaska. Centers and mission directorates inside awarding agency 080 are unpublished splits.

Ninety-eight records against $98,586,104.10 is a thin NASA file: few rows, a high implied mean near a million dollars per record. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 98 as 98 unique missions, named centers, or unique contractors. The overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Alaska is the both-keys table. Alaska federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency book without an AK filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named ranges and university labs are unpublished. Do not assign 98 awards to a single Alaska launch site. Correlation is not causation: Alaska did not cause $98,586,104.10 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 080 × AK only.

Not a Fairbanks launch ledger or contractor roster

$98,586,104.10 does not measure unique missions, named centers, or unique contractors. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 080 and an AK place-of-performance tag. Centers and mission directorates inside awarding agency 080 are unpublished splits.

Do not treat 98 awards as a census of unique missions, named centers, or unique contractors. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Alaska federal spending or National Aeronautics and Space Administration matched $98,586,104.10 and 98, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington, Oregon, and California NASA joins are other pairs, not addends. Place of performance AK is not a commute from a Lower 48 NASA center. Keep the Alaska tag on $98,586,104.10.
