National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in Maine
Two filters produce one cell: National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency 080 and Maine as geography. USAspending.gov publishes $51,082,288.08 and 64 awards for that pair. Neither filter alone is the number on this page. 64 awards against $51,082,288.08 is a thin NASA file: sixty-four rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical invoice. The implied mean is about $798,160.75 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- USAspending cell: Aeronautics × Maine = $51,082,288.08.
- 64 records, about $798,160.75 each as a mean.

Both keys, one total: 080 and ME
Drop the Maine filter and $51,082,288.08 is no longer this page. Drop the National Aeronautics and Space Administration filter and $51,082,288.08 is no longer this page. The join is the product of both keys on USAspending.gov. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside ME is out. An award in Maine from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Maine (ME) excludes New Hampshire.
64 award actions sit under $51,082,288.08. That count is a thin NASA file: sixty-four rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical invoice. It is not a roster of grantees. Treating the cell as a launch-site roster or a named-contractor census over-reads the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors.

A mean of $798,160.75 without a distribution
Arithmetic is allowed: $51,082,288.08 ÷ 64 ≈ $798,160.75. Interpretation as a typical Aeronautics award is not allowed, because the packet has no median, no quartiles, and no award-type split. The 64 figure is not a count of distinct programs.
Portland, bangor, and augusta may be reader landmarks, not published subtotals. Maine is statewide; New Hampshire-coded activity stays out even if mail is handled in Portland. Those place names are folklore paths for search, unused as math.
Maine federal spending is the wider state book
Maine federal spending includes every awarding agency tagged to Maine. National Aeronautics and Space Administration includes every geography tagged to National Aeronautics and Space Administration. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maine is the overlap that produced $51,082,288.08.
Sibling overlays for agency 080 in other states are not remainders of this cell. This packet has no national Aeronautics total to subtract from. Do not subtract $51,082,288.08 from National Aeronautics and Space Administration and call the difference 'Maine versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none.
What the source note actually says
USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. That sentence is the unit rule for every reuse of this page.
No fiscal year is in the facts. Inventing one would be a packet violation. Keep $51,082,288.08 unlabeled by FY until a later extract supplies one. Citing $51,082,288.08 as cash already sent in Maine confuses obligations with outlays.
Maine outcomes are not proven by $51,082,288.08
Correlation is not causation. $51,082,288.08 does not prove that National Aeronautics and Space Administration activity caused Maine economic results, and Maine results do not prove why the cell equals $51,082,288.08.
FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep campaign-finance files on their own site. Keep $51,082,288.08 on USAspending.gov. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts.

Place-of-performance Maine is statewide; Maine is statewide; New Hampshire-coded activity stays out even if mail is handled in Portland. Neighbor-coded activity in New Hampshire stays out. Correlation is not causation. Treating the join as a launch-site roster or a named-contractor census is labeled folklore here because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Portland, bangor, and augusta 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 Aeronautics budget on this page. Maine's $51,082,288.08 cell stands alone. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the awarding-agency label stored on the Maine overlay; the numeric key is 080. Readers who only remember the short name Aeronautics still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $51,082,288.08. The 64 figure is not a count of grantees and is not a count of distinct programs. That is another reason the mean of about $798,160.75 is not a typical Aeronautics award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/me/agencies/080/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-maine/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $51,082,288.08 or 64, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $51,082,288.08, 64 awards, agency 080, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Maine (ME), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $51,082,288.08. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maine remains the place to verify the live rows. Repeat the pair before any reuse: National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Maine. Repeat the source: USAspending.gov. Repeat the unit: obligations, not outlays. The overlay path /states/me/agencies/080/ and the canonical path /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-maine/ describe the same join. Internal links stay limited to the four packet hrefs. No other URL is added. No recipient, contractor, or donor name is invented to fill space. The facts remain the dollar total, the award count, the agency code, the agency name, the state name, and the state code.
