Federal obligations from National Aeronautics and Space Administration to Delaware
Total obligated
$74.1M
Awards
151
$70,873,524.23 in USAspending.gov obligations is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration total coded to Delaware, across 147 awards. The pair is NASA plus Delaware, not a single-campus ledger. Awarding-agency 080 and Delaware (DE) are the pair. One hundred forty-seven records against $70,873,524.23 is a thin NASA file, thicker than Montana’s 87-row cell and still not a contractor census. The implied mean is about $482,133 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

NASA awards tagged to Delaware
National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Delaware as place-of-performance: 147 records summing to $70,873,524.23. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside DE is out. An award in Delaware from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Delaware (DE) excludes Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. A Greenbelt-coded award is MD even if a collaborator sits in Newark, Delaware. Awarding agency 080 does not publish a Goddard-versus-other split on this Delaware cell.
One hundred forty-seven records against $70,873,524.23 is a thin NASA file, thicker than Montana’s 87-row cell and still not a contractor census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 147 as 147 unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. The overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Delaware is the both-keys table. Delaware federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency book without a DE filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named campuses are unpublished. Do not treat 147 as unique Delaware labs or as a University of Delaware ranking. Correlation is not causation: Delaware did not cause $70,873,524.23 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 080 × DE only.
Not a Newark campus ranking
$70,873,524.23 does not measure unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 080 and a DE place-of-performance tag. Awarding agency 080 does not publish a Goddard-versus-other split on this Delaware cell.
Do not treat 147 awards as a census of unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Delaware federal spending or National Aeronautics and Space Administration matched $70,873,524.23 and 147, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey NASA joins are other pairs, not addends. Do not add Maryland NASA dollars because a PI later moved to Delaware. Keep the DE tag.
