National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations in Kansas

One cell: National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Kansas

Start with the pair, not a story. National Aeronautics and Space Administration plus Kansas is the definition of this page. $132,482,113.56 is the obligation aggregate USAspending.gov reports for that pair. 77 is the accompanying award count. Nothing else in the packet adds a third total.

Behind $132,482,113.56 sit 77 recorded actions. That is a compact award list. A long list is not automatically many distinct projects, and a short list is not automatically one project. The packet does not include a unique-award or unique-recipient field.

77 records without an instrument mix

About $1,720,546.93 per award is $132,482,113.56 ÷ 77. 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 or contractors. Space-center, flight-research, and aerospace-lab folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

Space-center, flight-research, and aerospace-lab folklore may explain a click. It does not add dollars, awards, or unique centers or contractors to the extract. Keep the published pair at $132,482,113.56 and 77.

Statewide Kansas, not a Wichita-only map

National Aeronautics and Space Administration is National Aeronautics and Space Administration without a state filter. Kansas federal spending is Kansas without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide NASA book as if it were Kansas's $132,482,113.56 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of Wichita, Kansas City, and Topeka is published here. Awards coded to Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, or Colorado are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Wichita. The overlay path already encodes both the state tag and agency 080.

The extract has no fiscal year

$132,482,113.56 records commitments tagged to National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Kansas. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

77 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Kansas for the live table. Agency 080 is the awarding-agency key stored on that overlay.

Public records, not a NASA ranking

The join is descriptive. $132,482,113.56 does not prove that Kansas received too much or too little National Aeronautics and Space Administration money, and it does not prove that National Aeronautics and Space Administration activity caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations in Kansas and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them. Unique centers or contractors are unpublished here, so none are invented.

Reusable NASA–Kansas facts

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Kansas remains the place to verify the live rows. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $132,482,113.56. Place-of-performance Kansas is statewide; it does not split Wichita, Kansas City, and Topeka. Neighbor-coded activity in Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, or Colorado stays out even if mail is handled in Wichita. Correlation is not causation. Space-center, flight-research, and aerospace-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. Plains, wheat-belt, and missouri-river 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. Kansas's $132,482,113.56 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Aeronautics and Space Administration and call the difference 'Kansas 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 Kansas 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 $132,482,113.56. The 77 figure is not a count of unique 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 $1,720,546.93 is not a typical flight-center or lab award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/ks/agencies/080/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-kansas/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $132,482,113.56 or 77, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $132,482,113.56, 77 awards, agency 080, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Kansas (KS), and the obligation unit.
