Exploration awarded by National Aeronautics and Space Administration

What the 43.003–NASA join is

CFDA 43.003 and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) meet in one program-agency cell. $432,872,984.33 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum tagged to that pair. It is not an outlay register, not a launch manifest, and not a count of spacecraft. EXPLORATION is the Catalog title; this packet does not split $432,872,984.33 among destinations or name primes.

An Exploration cell invites a Moon-or-Mars story. Unique recipients are unpublished. This page will not invent contractors or flight names. Correlation with launch headlines is not causation.

The program book beside agency 080

This awarding-agency join publishes the same obligation total as the program extract ($432,872,984.33). Open /programs/43.003/ for CFDA 43.003 without requiring this agency filter, and /agencies/080/ for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration hub without requiring this CFDA filter. Those parents are not addends to $432,872,984.33.

Other NASA catalog lines, including Aeronautics on this same slice, are other keys. Mixing them into $432,872,984.33 would invent a combined NASA-assistance total the packet never computed. /programs/ lists every program; /ties/ indexes other pairs.

135 records are not 135 space missions

135 is the award-record count on this CFDA 43.003 × agency 080 join. Dividing $432,872,984.33 by 135 would invent a typical exploration award the packet does not publish. Unique recipients remain unpublished.
