Key figures
- USAspending cell: NASA × Michigan = $211,551,833.74.
- 517 records, about $409,191.17 each as a mean.
- Outlays and fiscal-year splits are unpublished here.
- Space-center, range, and research-lab folklore is unused as math.
- No contractor names in this packet; geography is statewide Michigan.
$211,551,833.74 belongs to a pair, not a slogan
USAspending.gov reports $211,551,833.74 when the awarding agency is National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the place of performance is Michigan. The matching action count is 517. Those are the only numeric facts in the packet.
A mid-size award list still needs a caveat: 517 is not unique centers. Space-center, range, and research-lab folklore remains a search path, not a published breakdown.

Using $409,191.17 without overclaiming
About $409,191.17 is $211,551,833.74 ÷ 517. Quote it as a mean of two packet facts. Do not quote it as the size of a typical flight-center or lab award in Michigan.
No CFDA, NAICS, or instrument table is attached. Without those columns, flight-hardware, aeronautics, and campus-lab folklore cannot be turned into a subtotal.
Geography grain: Michigan statewide
The packet does not split Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Ann Arbor. A searcher can still type those names; the dollars stay on MI.
Place-of-performance codes for Ohio, Indiana, or Wisconsin are outside $211,551,833.74, including work that only uses a Detroit mailbox.
Why outlays are missing
Voice on the packet says obligations, not outlays. $211,551,833.74 is therefore a commitment total. Cash paid is unpublished here.
No fiscal year is published either. Do not attach FY labels to $211,551,833.74 or 517 from memory.
Neutral reading of a public-records join
This file does not call $211,551,833.74 wasteful or essential. It does not rank Michigan. It does not invent centers or contractors.
It also does not merge FEC donations into $211,551,833.74. Different datasets can share a place name without sharing a funding path.
Keep National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Michigan on the same citation
National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Michigan holds the live rows. Michigan federal spending and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are the parent hubs. All spending ties is the index of other joins.
Great-lakes, auto-corridor, and peninsula 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. Michigan's $211,551,833.74 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Aeronautics and Space Administration and call the difference 'Michigan 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 Michigan 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 $211,551,833.74. The 517 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 $409,191.17 is not a typical flight-center or lab award. Detroit is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/mi/agencies/080/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-michigan/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $211,551,833.74 or 517, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $211,551,833.74, 517 awards, agency 080, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Michigan (MI), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $211,551,833.74. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Michigan remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Michigan is statewide; it does not split Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Ann Arbor. Neighbor-coded activity in Ohio, Indiana, or Wisconsin stays out even if mail is handled in Detroit. 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. Repeat the pair before any reuse: National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Michigan. Repeat the source: USAspending.gov. Repeat the unit: obligations, not outlays. The overlay path /states/mi/agencies/080/ and the canonical path /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-michigan/ 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.

- USAspending.gov records $211,551,833.74 in obligations for awarding agency 080 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) with Michigan place of performance, covering 517 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.
- Are centers or contractors named in the Michigan NASA packet?
- The extract lists 517 award actions totaling $211,551,833.74. Average obligation per award is about $409,191.17, 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.
- Is Detroit a published share of $211,551,833.74?
- No. $211,551,833.74 and 517 awards are statewide Michigan place of performance. This packet does not split Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Ann Arbor. Awards coded to Ohio, Indiana, or Wisconsin are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Detroit. The geography key remains MI.
- How do I reach the 080 overlay inside MI?
- National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Michigan is the overlay. Michigan 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.
