NASA dollars tagged to Louisiana

One hundred twenty-three awards totaling $6,602,202,741.45 is a thin, high-mean join. Spaceflight and propulsion work often sits in a small number of large contracts, but the facts do not name centers, vehicles, or contractors. This page does not assign the $6.60 billion to a particular facility.

The join is agency 080 plus Louisiana place of performance. It is not a ranking of states as space hubs, and it is not a count of launches.
