National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations in New Mexico
Place-of-performance New Mexico plus awarding agency 080 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) produces $343,342,207.03 in recorded obligations on USAspending.gov. 214 awards sit in that cell. The pair is a table join, not a finding that New Mexico caused the agency's national mix.

One USAspending cell: National Aeronautics and Space Administration and New Mexico
This page is a join: National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency 080, New Mexico as place of performance. The published cell is $343,342,207.03. That number does not describe every NASA bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in New Mexico. Space-center, range, and research-lab folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.
The award count is 214 — 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.

Instruments behind 214 rows
About $1,604,402.84 per award is $343,342,207.03 ÷ 214. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of unique centers or contractors. Space-center, range, and research-lab folklore remains outside the numeric fields.
Space-center, range, and research-lab folklore may explain a click. It does not add dollars, awards, or unique centers or contractors to the extract. Keep the published pair at $343,342,207.03 and 214.
Neighbor-coded work is excluded
National Aeronautics and Space Administration is National Aeronautics and Space Administration without a state filter. New Mexico federal spending is New Mexico without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide NASA book as if it were New Mexico's $343,342,207.03 cell is a misread of the join.
No metro split of Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and Santa Fe is published here. Awards coded to Texas, Arizona, or Colorado are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Albuquerque.
De-obligations are not in this packet
$343,342,207.03 records commitments tagged to National Aeronautics and Space Administration and New Mexico. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.
214 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 New Mexico for the live table.
No contractor roster in this packet
The join is descriptive. $343,342,207.03 does not prove that New Mexico received too much or too little NASA money, and it does not prove that NASA 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 New Mexico and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.
Where National Aeronautics and Space Administration in New Mexico sits among other ties
Cite both sides: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) and New Mexico. Then cite $343,342,207.03 and 214. Then cite USAspending.gov. Skip metro folklore about Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and Santa Fe. Skip invented unique centers or contractors.
All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $343,342,207.03. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in New Mexico remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance New Mexico is statewide; it does not split Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and Santa Fe. Neighbor-coded activity in Texas, Arizona, or Colorado stays out even if mail is handled in Albuquerque. 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. High-desert, mesa, and borderland 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. New Mexico's $343,342,207.03 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Aeronautics and Space Administration and call the difference 'New Mexico 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 New Mexico 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 $343,342,207.03. The 214 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 $1,604,402.84 is not a typical flight-center or lab award. No contractor names appear in the packet facts. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/nm/agencies/080/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration-in-new-mexico/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $343,342,207.03 or 214, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $343,342,207.03, 214 awards, agency 080, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, New Mexico (NM), and the obligation unit.

- Is the NASA New Mexico mean a typical lab award?
- The extract lists 214 award actions totaling $343,342,207.03. Average obligation per award is about $1,604,402.84, 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.
- Does the New Mexico NASA cell split Albuquerque from Las Cruces?
- No. $343,342,207.03 and 214 awards are statewide New Mexico place of performance. This packet does not split Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and Santa Fe. Awards coded to Texas, Arizona, or Colorado are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Albuquerque. The geography key remains NM.
- Which page filters NASA (080) to New Mexico?
- National Aeronautics and Space Administration in New Mexico is the overlay. New Mexico 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.
