NASA federal obligations in California

NASA awards that carry a California tag

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, California as place-of-performance: 4,509 records summing to $54,029,350,755.40. A NASA award coded to Texas is out of this cell. A Defense award coded to California is out even if the work sounds aerospace-adjacent.

The implied mean is about $12.0 million per award. Center contracts, instrument development, and smaller research actions can share the 4,509-row file. This packet does not itemize missions.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in California is the overlay. California federal spending remains the all-agency state hub. All spending ties holds other pairs. Four thousand five hundred nine NASA records in California are not 4,509 missions. $54,029,350,755.40 is the obligation sum for agency 080 inside CA coding. Department of Defense aerospace in California is a different join. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in California stays 080.

Centers unnamed, missions uncounted

JPL, Ames, Armstrong, and industry campuses are not packet facts. This page does not assign $54,029,350,755.40 to a named center. Place-of-performance on NASA awards often follows center or contractor geography, and a few vehicles can dominate a 4,509-row state cell. Site attribution needs another extract.

Launch cadence, crew flights, and science-paper counts are not USAspending fields. $54,029,350,755.40 does not grade exploration. It sums obligations. California did not cause the total by hosting aerospace firms. The join is 080 × CA. Correlation is not causation. Launch providers and center names attach easily in ordinary speech. This packet names neither. Assigning $54,029,350,755.40 to a campus is a new extract. California federal spending still includes every other awarding agency.

Multi-year space vehicles and unpaid commitments

Spacecraft and center-management contracts often obligate ahead of outlays. $54,029,350,755.40 can include amounts still unpaid. Citing it as money already spent in California misreads the award file.

The California state budget is not NASA’s 4,509-award book. Mixing them leaves USAspending.gov. California NASA’s 4,509 records are not interchangeable with Defense aerospace awards in the same state. Agency 080 is the filter. $54,029,350,755.40 does not include 097. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in California will not absorb those rows. Center names stay unpublished because the packet does not name them.

Statewide CA, not a Bay-versus-South split

This packet does not split $54,029,350,755.40 between Northern and Southern California. 4,509 awards stay statewide. A center-level table would be a different extract.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 hub without a California filter. Use it for the agency book; use this page for the CA intersection. If a large vehicle is restated, 4,509 awards and $54,029,350,755.40 can both shift. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in California is the live cell. Do not fill unnamed-center gaps with contractor press releases; those are not this extract.

Citing NASA in California

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (080) obligated $54,029,350,755.40 on 4,509 awards coded to California. Name NASA and California together. Keep “obligations.”

Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in California if the overlay moved. Do not convert $54,029,350,755.40 into launches or jobs. Those series are not here. The implied mean near $12.0 million is a ratio of two packet facts. California federal spending remains the all-agency parent. All spending ties lists other pairs. Refresh the overlay after ingests; a few vehicles can swing a 4,509-row mean. Keep the obligation word.

How to cite NASA in California

Cite National Aeronautics and Space Administration, California, $54,029,350,755.40, and 4,509 awards. All spending ties lists other pairs. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent. Do not add those parents to this cell.

Do not convert $54,029,350,755.40 into launches or jobs. Those series are unpublished. Do not annualize without a year field. Do not treat 4,509 as unique vendors. A few large vehicles can dominate a 4,509-row mean. If the overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in California moves, quote the overlay. Obligations are not outlays.

Questions

How much has NASA obligated in California?

USAspending.gov records $54,029,350,755.40 in NASA obligations across 4,509 California-coded awards. Agency 080 × CA is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a launch count. USAspending.gov is the originating system. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in California is the live overlay for this pair. $54,029,350,755.40 remains an obligation sum, not an outlay, across 4,509 awards.

Which California NASA center accounts for this total?

The packet does not name centers. $54,029,350,755.40 and 4,509 awards are statewide for awarding agency 080. Center ledgers are a different extract. This packet publishes only the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) join inside California coding. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote $54,029,350,755.40 and 4,509 together.

Does this include Space Force or Defense aerospace awards?

No. This cell is awarding agency 080 only. Defense awards in California sit under other agency codes even when the work is aerospace-related. SpendingVault indexes the pair; it does not convert $54,029,350,755.40 into cash already paid. Later ingests can revise 4,509 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live NASA–California table?

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in California is the overlay. California federal spending and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are the parents. All spending ties lists other joins. California federal spending and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are parent hubs, not addends. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $54,029,350,755.40. Obligations are not outlays.
