National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in Iowa
Awarding agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (code 080) lists $233,300,292.38 in Iowa place-of-performance obligations. 145 actions sit behind that total on USAspending.gov. This page is a JOIN: drop either side and the number is no longer $233,300,292.38.
Key figures
- USAspending cell: NASA × Iowa = $233,300,292.38.
- 145 records, about $1,608,967.53 each as a mean.
- Outlays and fiscal-year splits are unpublished here.
- Flight-hardware, aeronautics, and campus-lab folklore stays outside the numeric fields.
- No contractor names in this packet; geography is statewide Iowa.
The 080 overlay inside Iowa
A state-agency tie exists because two tables meet. Here the tables are National Aeronautics and Space Administration (code 080) and Iowa (IA). $233,300,292.38 is what remains after both filters. Space-center, range, and research-lab folklore can explain a search query; it cannot rewrite the cell.
145 rows produced $233,300,292.38. The mean of about $1,608,967.53 follows from division. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of unique centers.
Open National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Iowa for the filtered table, Iowa federal spending for the next hub, National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.
The mean on a NASA–Iowa overlay
$233,300,292.38 divided by 145 equals about $1,608,967.53. That sentence uses every numeric fact the packet allows for a per-award figure. It does not authorize a contractor roster, a CFDA list, or a fiscal-year split.
Do not subtract $233,300,292.38 from a remembered national NASA total and call the difference 'Iowa versus everywhere else.' This packet has no national total.
Place of performance is statewide Iowa
Place-of-performance Iowa is statewide; it does not split Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport. Neighbor-coded activity in Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, or Nebraska stays out even if mail is handled in Des Moines.
Des Moines can appear in search queries without appearing as a dollar field. Keep $233,300,292.38 attached to Iowa, not to a single city.
Payments and recoveries live elsewhere
Outlays, recoveries, and cancellations are different concepts. None of them is a packet fact here. The published unit for $233,300,292.38 is obligations.
A modification that reduces an earlier obligation still counts as an award action in many extracts. That is another reason 145 is not unique centers.
Correlation is not causation on a state-agency tie
This page is not a ranking of states and not a ranking of agencies. $233,300,292.38 is a cell value. Neighbor cells are other files. They are not winners or losers.
The voice constraint is neutral. This file does not call the spending wasteful or essential. It reports $233,300,292.38 and 145 and the two keys that produced them. NASA obligations in Iowa and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them with $233,300,292.38.
What to reuse and what to leave out
The overlay, the statewide hub, the agency hub, and the ties index are the four hrefs this packet allows. They are National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Iowa, Iowa federal spending, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and All spending ties.
Place-of-performance Iowa is statewide; it does not split Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport. Neighbor-coded activity in Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, or Nebraska stays out even if mail is handled in Des Moines. 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. River-town, farm-belt, and capital-city folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. 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. Iowa's $233,300,292.38 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Aeronautics and Space Administration and call the difference 'Iowa 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 Iowa 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 $233,300,292.38. The 145 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 $1,608,967.53 is not a typical flight-center or lab award. Des Moines is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/ia/agencies/080/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-iowa/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $233,300,292.38 or 145, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $233,300,292.38, 145 awards, agency 080, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Iowa (IA), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $233,300,292.38. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Iowa remains the place to verify the live rows.
Questions
- What is the NASA obligation total for Iowa?
- USAspending.gov records $233,300,292.38 in obligations for awarding agency 080 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) with Iowa place of performance, covering 145 awards. That is an obligation total, not an outlay total, and not National Aeronautics and Space Administration's nationwide budget. The pair is a join, not a ranking.
- Is the Iowa NASA mean a typical flight-center or lab award?
- The extract lists 145 award actions totaling $233,300,292.38. Average obligation per award is about $1,608,967.53, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical flight-center or lab award. Unique centers are not published here. Original filings remain on the source sites. This page does not invent recipients.
- Does this Iowa NASA cell include neighbor-coded awards?
- No. $233,300,292.38 and 145 awards are statewide Iowa place of performance. This packet does not split Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport. Awards coded to Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, or Nebraska are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Des Moines. The geography key remains IA.
- Which page filters NASA agency 080 to Iowa?
- National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Iowa is the overlay. Iowa federal spending shows all agencies in the state. National Aeronautics and Space Administration shows agency 080 without a state filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Original filings remain on the source sites.
