National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in Connecticut
National Aeronautics and Space Administration shows $497,776,057.82 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Connecticut, across 214 awards. Awarding-agency 080 and Connecticut (CT) are the pair. 214 awards against $497,776,057.82 is a 214-award NASA file, thinner than Washington’s NASA join in this slice. The implied mean is about $2,326,056.34 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligated $497,776,057.82 in Connecticut across 214 awards (USAspending.gov).
- The pair is awarding-agency 080 × place-of-performance CT.
- Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
- The implied mean near $2,326,056.34 is $497,776,057.82 divided by 214, not a typical award.
- The join does not name contractors and does not measure launch counts, named centers, or contractor rosters.
Awarding-agency 080 overlapping Connecticut
National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Connecticut as place-of-performance: 214 awards summing to $497,776,057.82. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside CT is out. An award in Connecticut from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A Windsor-coded award with a Massachusetts place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
214 awards against $497,776,057.82 is a 214-award NASA file, thinner than Washington’s NASA join in this slice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 214 as 214 unique launch counts, named centers, or contractor rosters. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Connecticut is the both-keys table. Connecticut federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency book without a CT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Energy 089, Treasury 020, and NASA 080 Connecticut pages in this slice are different awarding-agency codes. Do not add them. Unique contractors are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Connecticut did not cause $497,776,057.82 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 080 × CT only.
A NASA cell is not an engine-test census
$497,776,057.82 does not measure launch counts, named centers, or contractor rosters. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 080 and an CT place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 214 awards as a census of launch counts, named centers, or contractor rosters. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Connecticut federal spending or National Aeronautics and Space Administration matched $497,776,057.82 and 214, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state NASA joins are other pairs, not addends.
Connecticut, not a shoreline-plant map
Place of performance CT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A Windsor-coded award with a Massachusetts place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $497,776,057.82 by city, county, or named facility. 214 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
Two hundred fourteen obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $497,776,057.82 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Connecticut confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Connecticut’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 214 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $497,776,057.82.
Citing NASA in Connecticut
Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $497,776,057.82 on 214 awards coded to Connecticut. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as launch counts, named centers, or contractor rosters.
Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Connecticut if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Connecticut federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CT. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without the CT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $497,776,057.82.
A usable footnote names National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Connecticut, $497,776,057.82, and 214. The compact headline $497.8M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $2,326,056.34 is $497,776,057.82 divided by 214. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
