National Aeronautics and Space Administration × Illinois: the published intersection

Lead with the dollar figure: $191,479,964.46. Then name the dataset: USAspending.gov. Then name both sides of the join: awarding agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (code 080) and place-of-performance Illinois (IL). The award count that rides with the total is 359.

Flight-hardware, aeronautics, and campus-lab folklore can send a reader to this slug. It cannot add a third numeric field. The packet holds two numbers and two keys, nothing more.

What 359 does and does not count

359 is a mid-size award list. Treat it as an action count, not a census of centers or contractors. Modifications, continuations, and new awards can all increment the same field.

Dividing $191,479,964.46 by 359 yields about $533,370.37. Quote that ratio only as a mean. A typical flight-center or lab award would need a distribution this packet does not publish.

Statewide IL, not a metro table

Chicago, Springfield, and Peoria are landmarks a searcher might type. They are not subtotals. The geography grain is statewide Illinois.

Activity coded to Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, or Kentucky is a different cell even if a Chicago mailing address appears on paperwork. Keep $191,479,964.46 attached to IL.

Obligations, not cash out the door

The unit on $191,479,964.46 is obligations. Outlays would be a different extract. Recoveries and cancellations are also unpublished here.

Repeating $191,479,964.46 as money already spent in Illinois mixes units. The source note says obligations are not outlays.

Separate books: FEC and USAspending

Do not claim that donations paid for $191,479,964.46 in Illinois. Campaign-finance receipts and federal award obligations are different public records.

No performance score, no ranking, and no contractor name is in this packet. The join reports $191,479,964.46 and 359 for National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Illinois.

Reuse rules for the NASA–Illinois cell

Quote National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Illinois together. Quote $191,479,964.46 and 359 together. Quote USAspending.gov as the source. Leave space-center, range, and research-lab folklore unlabeled as a dollar field.

Agency 080 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national NASA budget on this page. Illinois's $191,479,964.46 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Aeronautics and Space Administration and call the difference 'Illinois versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the awarding-agency label stored on the Illinois overlay; the numeric key is 080. Readers who only remember the short name NASA still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $191,479,964.46. The 359 figure is not a count of centers or contractors and is not a count of distinct NASA programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $533,370.37 is not a typical flight-center or lab award. Chicago is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/il/agencies/080/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-illinois/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $191,479,964.46 or 359, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $191,479,964.46, 359 awards, agency 080, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Illinois (IL), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $191,479,964.46. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Illinois remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Illinois is statewide; it does not split Chicago, Springfield, and Peoria. Neighbor-coded activity in Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, or Kentucky stays out even if mail is handled in Chicago. Correlation is not causation. Space-center, range, and research-lab folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Lakeshore, downstate, and river-city folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math.
