How much has the National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligated in Indiana?

USAspending.gov records $2,613,020,785.77 across 250 awards with awarding agency 080 and an Indiana tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of astronauts, launches, or named NASA centers. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Indiana is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $2,613,020,785.77.

Is $2,613,020,785.77 a measure of astronauts, launches, or named NASA centers?

No. The packet publishes $2,613,020,785.77 and 250 awards for agency 080 inside IN coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays.

Why does this NASA file have 250 awards?

That is the award-record count for 080 × IN. Combined with $2,613,020,785.77, the average is about $10.45 million. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 250 is not unique astronauts, launches, or named NASA centers. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live table?

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Indiana is the overlay. Indiana federal spending and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are the parents, not addends. All spending ties lists other pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $2,613,020,785.77. USAspending.gov is the source. Obligations are not outlays.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in Indiana

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration shows $2,613,020,785.77 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Indiana, across 250 awards. Awarding-agency 080 and Indiana (IN) are the pair. Two hundred fifty awards is a thin NASA file. A large implied mean is what few rows do to a multi-billion dollar numerator. The implied mean is about $10.45 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

A thin NASA file on an Indiana tag

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Indiana as place-of-performance: 250 records summing to $2,613,020,785.77. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside IN is out. An award in Indiana from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Indiana (IN) excludes Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky. A Chicago-coded award is Illinois even if an Indiana supplier appears in folklore.

Two hundred fifty awards is a thin NASA file. A large implied mean is what few rows do to a multi-billion dollar numerator. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 250 as 250 unique astronauts, launches, or named NASA centers. The overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Indiana is the both-keys table. Indiana federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency book without an IN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name a center, a contractor campus, or a propulsion earmark. Unique recipients are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Indiana did not “cause” $2,613,020,785.77 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 080 × IN only.

Not a launch, astronaut, or center census

$2,613,020,785.77 does not measure astronauts, launches, or named NASA centers. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 080 and an IN place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 250 awards as a census of astronauts, launches, or named NASA centers. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Indiana federal spending or National Aeronautics and Space Administration matched $2,613,020,785.77 and 250, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan NASA joins are other pairs, not addends.

Indiana is not a Great Lakes aerospace rollup

Place of performance IN is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Indiana (IN) excludes Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky. A Chicago-coded award is Illinois even if an Indiana supplier appears in folklore. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not name a center, a contractor campus, or a propulsion earmark. Unique recipients are unpublished. This packet does not split $2,613,020,785.77 by city, county, or named facility. 250 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Few awards, large mean, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,613,020,785.77 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Indiana confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Indiana’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 250-award 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 $2,613,020,785.77.

Citing NASA in Indiana

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $2,613,020,785.77 on 250 awards coded to Indiana. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as astronauts, launches, or named NASA centers.

Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Indiana if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Indiana federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to IN. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without the IN filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,613,020,785.77.

A usable footnote names National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Indiana, $2,613,020,785.77, and 250. The compact headline $2.61 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $10.45 million is $2,613,020,785.77 divided by 250. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
