National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations in Missouri

How NASA and Missouri meet in one table

This page is a join: National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency 080, Missouri as place of performance. The published cell is $171,016,126.39. That number does not describe every National Aeronautics and Space Administration bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in Missouri. Space-center, flight-research, and aerospace-lab folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.

The award count is 167 — a mid-size award list. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a census of unique centers or contractors. Names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Open National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Missouri for the filtered table, Missouri federal spending for the next hub, National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Reading 167 actions without a type split

A typical flight-center or lab award would need program and instrument fields. Those fields are absent. The honest caption is: 167 actions, $171,016,126.39 obligated, mean about $1,024,048.66, source USAspending.gov.

A mid-size award list is a description of 167, not a quality judgment. Large or small lists can both be accurate extracts of the same two keys.

Hub pages are larger than this cell

National Aeronautics and Space Administration is National Aeronautics and Space Administration without a state filter. Missouri federal spending is Missouri without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide NASA book as if it were Missouri's $171,016,126.39 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield is published here. Awards coded to Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, or Iowa are outside this cell even if mail is handled in St. Louis. The overlay path already encodes both the state tag and agency 080.

Keep the obligation word on every reuse

$171,016,126.39 records commitments tagged to National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Missouri. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

167 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 Missouri for the live table. Agency 080 is the awarding-agency key stored on that overlay.

Public records, not accusations

The join is descriptive. $171,016,126.39 does not prove that Missouri 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 Missouri 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.

Index, overlay, and statewide hub

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Missouri remains the place to verify the live rows. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $171,016,126.39. Place-of-performance Missouri is statewide; it does not split St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield. Neighbor-coded activity in Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, or Iowa stays out even if mail is handled in St. Louis. 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. Ozark, mississippi-river, and prairie 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. Missouri's $171,016,126.39 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Aeronautics and Space Administration and call the difference 'Missouri 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 Missouri 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 $171,016,126.39. The 167 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 $1,024,048.66 is not a typical flight-center or lab award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/mo/agencies/080/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-missouri/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $171,016,126.39 or 167, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $171,016,126.39, 167 awards, agency 080, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Missouri (MO), and the obligation unit.

The extract lists 167 award actions totaling $171,016,126.39. Average obligation per award is about $1,024,048.66, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical flight-center or lab award. Unique centers or contractors are not published here. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Are Kansas or Illinois NASA awards in this Missouri cell?

No. $171,016,126.39 and 167 awards are statewide Missouri place of performance. This packet does not split St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield. Awards coded to Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas, or Iowa are outside this cell even if mail is handled in St. Louis. The geography key remains MO.

Which page filters NASA (080) to Missouri?

National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Missouri is the overlay. Missouri 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.
