NASA federal obligations in Texas
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration shows $36,867,915,716.40 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Texas, across 1,751 awards. Awarding-agency 080 and Texas (TX) are the join keys. Human-spaceflight folklore is not a packet field: this page will not treat $36,867,915,716.40 as the Johnson budget. The dollars are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- NASA in Texas: $36,867,915,716.40 across 1,751 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $21.1 million per record.
- Agency 080 × TX does not name Johnson or count crew flights.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
NASA’s Texas-coded awards
National Aeronautics and Space Administration as awarding agency, Texas as place-of-performance: 1,751 records summing to $36,867,915,716.40. A NASA award coded to California is a different cell. A Defense aerospace award in Texas sits under agency 097, not 080.
The implied mean is about $21.1 million per award. Center-management and spacecraft vehicles can lift that average. This packet does not itemize programs inside the 1,751 rows.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Texas is the overlay. Texas federal spending is the all-agency state hub. All spending ties lists other pairs. One thousand seven hundred fifty-one NASA records in Texas are not a mission roster. $36,867,915,716.40 is the obligation sum for agency 080 inside TX coding. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Texas does not name Johnson or any contractor.
Unnamed centers and crew-flight stories
Johnson Space Center and contractor campuses are not packet facts. This page does not assign $36,867,915,716.40 to a named Houston campus. Place-of-performance on NASA awards often follows center geography, and 1,751 rows can be dominated by a few vehicles. Site attribution needs another extract.
Crew rotations, ISS increment numbers, and commercial-crew flight counts are not USAspending fields. $36,867,915,716.40 does not grade human spaceflight. It sums obligations. Texas did not cause the cell by hosting mission control. The join is 080 × TX. Correlation is not causation. Human-spaceflight stories attach easily. Crew counts are not packet facts. Linking $36,867,915,716.40 to flight rate is a new dataset. Texas federal spending still includes USDA, VA, DHS, Education, and Treasury joins that are not 080.
Multi-year vehicles still unpaid in part
Center and spacecraft contracts often obligate ahead of outlays. $36,867,915,716.40 can include amounts still unpaid. Citing it as cash already spent in Texas misreads the award file.
The Texas state budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with 1,751 NASA awards leaves USAspending.gov. Texas NASA’s 1,751 records are not a Johnson ledger. $36,867,915,716.40 stays statewide for agency 080. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Texas does not absorb Defense aerospace under 097. Crew-flight counts are unpublished. The implied mean near $21.1 million is a thin-file ratio.
Statewide TX, not a Clear Lake map
This packet does not split $36,867,915,716.40 by metro. 1,751 awards stay statewide. A center-perimeter table would be a different extract.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 hub without a Texas filter. Use it for the agency book. One restated spacecraft vehicle can move 1,751 and $36,867,915,716.40. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Texas is the cell to reread. Named-center ledgers remain a different extract.
Citing NASA in Texas
Cite USAspending.gov: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (080) obligated $36,867,915,716.40 on 1,751 awards coded to Texas. Name NASA and Texas together. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as a named-center appropriation.
Prefer National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Texas if the overlay moved. Do not convert $36,867,915,716.40 into launches or jobs. Texas federal spending is the all-agency parent. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent. All spending ties lists other pairs. Refresh the overlay after ingests; 1,751 rows can move when one vehicle restates. Keep the obligation word.
Reusing the Texas NASA integers
Keep National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Texas, $36,867,915,716.40, and 1,751 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the 080 parent without a Texas filter.
Do not convert the total into launches or jobs. Do not treat 1,751 as unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field. A few vehicles can dominate a 1,751-row mean. Prefer the overlay National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Texas if the live table moved. Keep the obligation label. USAspending.gov is the source.
Questions
- How much has NASA obligated in Texas?
- USAspending.gov records $36,867,915,716.40 in NASA obligations across 1,751 Texas-coded awards. Agency 080 × TX is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a center ledger. USAspending.gov is the originating system. National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Texas is the live overlay for this pair. $36,867,915,716.40 remains an obligation sum, not an outlay, across 1,751 awards.
- Is this the Johnson Space Center budget?
- The packet does not name centers. $36,867,915,716.40 and 1,751 awards are statewide for awarding agency 080 in Texas. Center books are a different extract. This packet publishes only the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (agency 080) join inside Texas coding. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote $36,867,915,716.40 and 1,751 together.
- Does this include SpaceX or Defense launch awards?
- Only if those rows carry awarding agency 080 and a Texas tag in USAspending.gov. Defense-awarded aerospace sits under other agency codes. This cell is 080 × TX only. SpendingVault indexes the pair; it does not convert $36,867,915,716.40 into cash already paid. Later ingests can revise 1,751 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
- Where is the live table?
- National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Texas is the overlay. Texas federal spending and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are the parents. All spending ties lists other pairs. Texas federal spending and National Aeronautics and Space Administration are parent hubs, not addends. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $36,867,915,716.40. Obligations are not outlays.
