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

USAspending.gov records $57,435,815.12 across 271 awards with awarding agency 080 and a Minnesota tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Minnesota is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $57,435,815.12.

Is $57,435,815.12 a measure of unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors?

No. The packet publishes $57,435,815.12 and 271 awards for agency 080 inside MN coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays. Keep both keys.

Does 271 NASA awards mean 271 Minnesota labs?

No. 271 is the award-record count for 080 × MN. Combined with $57,435,815.12, the average is about $211,940. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 271 is not unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live NASA–Minnesota table?

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Minnesota is the overlay. Minnesota federal spending and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are the parents, not addends. All spending ties lists other pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $57,435,815.12. USAspending.gov is the source. Obligations are not outlays.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration federal obligations in Minnesota

$57,435,815.12 in USAspending.gov obligations is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration total coded to Minnesota, across 271 awards. The pair is NASA plus Minnesota, not a statewide aerospace ranking. Awarding-agency 080 and Minnesota (MN) are the pair. Two hundred seventy-one records against $57,435,815.12 is a mid-count NASA file, thicker than Oregon’s 218-row cell and still not a contractor census. The implied mean is about $211,940 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

NASA awards tagged to Minnesota

National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Minnesota as place-of-performance: 271 records summing to $57,435,815.12. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration award coded outside MN is out. An award in Minnesota from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Minnesota (MN) excludes Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Canada. A Wisconsin-coded award is WI even if a collaborator sits in the Twin Cities. Awarding agency 080 center splits stay unpublished on this Minnesota cell.

Two hundred seventy-one records against $57,435,815.12 is a mid-count NASA file, thicker than Oregon’s 218-row cell and still not a contractor census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 271 as 271 unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. The overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Minnesota is the both-keys table. Minnesota federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency book without an MN filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named campuses are unpublished. Do not treat 271 as unique Minnesota labs or as a Twin Cities ranking. Correlation is not causation: Minnesota did not cause $57,435,815.12 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 080 × MN only.

Not a Twin Cities lab ranking or contractor roster

$57,435,815.12 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 an MN place-of-performance tag. Awarding agency 080 center splits stay unpublished on this Minnesota cell.

Do not treat 271 awards as a census of unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Minnesota federal spending or National Aeronautics and Space Administration matched $57,435,815.12 and 271, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Wisconsin, Iowa, and North Dakota NASA joins are other pairs, not addends. Do not merge this $57,435,815.12 with a Wisconsin NASA join because a lab sits near the border.

Minnesota statewide, not a Twin Cities-only map

Place of performance MN is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Minnesota (MN) excludes Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Canada. A Wisconsin-coded award is WI even if a collaborator sits in the Twin Cities. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, and the rest of the counties share one MN stamp.

Named campuses are unpublished. Do not treat 271 as unique Minnesota labs or as a Twin Cities ranking. This packet does not split $57,435,815.12 by city, county, or named facility. 271 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. FEC donation tables do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Mid-count research files still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $57,435,815.12 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Minnesota confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Minnesota’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 271-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 $57,435,815.12. Do not merge this $57,435,815.12 with a Wisconsin NASA join because a lab sits near the border.

Citing NASA in Minnesota

Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) obligated $57,435,815.12 on 271 awards coded to Minnesota. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique missions, named campuses, or unique contractors. The pair is NASA plus Minnesota, not a statewide aerospace ranking.

Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Minnesota if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Minnesota federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MN. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without the MN filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $57,435,815.12. A usable footnote names National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Minnesota, $57,435,815.12, and 271. The compact headline $57.4 million is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $211,940 is $57,435,815.12 divided by 271. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
