National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in Kentucky

NASA awards tagged to Kentucky

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Kentucky as place-of-performance: 96 records summing to $66,281,415.08. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside KY is out. An award in Kentucky from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A Huntsville-coded award is AL even if a collaborator sits in Kentucky. Awarding agency 080 center splits stay unpublished on this Kentucky cell.

Ninety-six records against $66,281,415.08 is a thin NASA file, close to Alaska’s 98-row cell and still a high implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 96 as 96 unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. The overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Kentucky is the both-keys table. Kentucky federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency book without a KY filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named campuses are unpublished. Do not assign $66,281,415.08 to a single Kentucky university. Correlation is not causation: Kentucky did not cause $66,281,415.08 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 080 × KY only.

Not a Lexington lab ranking

$66,281,415.08 does not measure unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 080 and a KY place-of-performance tag. Awarding agency 080 center splits stay unpublished on this Kentucky cell.

Do not treat 96 awards as a census of unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Kentucky federal spending or National Aeronautics and Space Administration matched $66,281,415.08 and 96, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Ohio, Tennessee, and Indiana NASA joins are other pairs, not addends. Ninety-six is not unique Kentucky contractors. Do not glue this cell to an Alabama NASA join.

Kentucky statewide, not a Louisville-versus-Lexington split

Place of performance KY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Kentucky (KY) excludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. A Huntsville-coded award is AL even if a collaborator sits in Kentucky. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, and the rest of the counties share one KY stamp.

Named campuses are unpublished. Do not assign $66,281,415.08 to a single Kentucky university. This packet does not split $66,281,415.08 by city, county, or named facility. 96 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. FEC donation tables do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Thin files still record grant obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $66,281,415.08 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Kentucky confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Kentucky’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 96-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 $66,281,415.08. Ninety-six is not unique Kentucky contractors. Do not glue this cell to an Alabama NASA join.

Citing NASA in Kentucky

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $66,281,415.08 on 96 awards coded to Kentucky. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. The pair is NASA plus Kentucky, not a statewide aerospace ranking.

Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Kentucky if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Kentucky federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to KY. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without the KY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $66,281,415.08. A usable footnote names National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Kentucky, $66,281,415.08, and 96. The compact headline $66.3 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $690,431 is $66,281,415.08 divided by 96. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Questions

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