Satellite Telecommunications federal obligations in FY2025
USAspending.gov records $633,003,625.41 in Satellite Telecommunications (NAICS 517410) obligations for fiscal year 2025. About ten percent of this satellite-telecom extract lands in FY2025, well below the FY2024 517410 concentration. Those years are separate cells. That pair is Satellite Telecommunications (NAICS 517410) and federal fiscal year 2025 — not every federal dollar in FY2025, not Satellite Telecommunications's $6,189,257,188 extract-wide book, and not cash already paid. The cell is 10.2% of this industry's published obligation total. 4,608 is the industry-extract award-record count, not a FY2025-only instrument tally. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

The two-key cell: satellite telecommunications in FY2025
NAICS 517410 and fiscal year 2025 meet here. $633,003,625.41 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Satellite Telecommunications's nationwide all-year total of $6,189,257,188, not every federal dollar coded to FY2025, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split bandwidth from ground-segment lines. 4,608 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a transponder inventory, a subscriber census, or a named-operator roster.
Open /industries/517410/ (NAICS 517410) for the industry table without this FY2025 filter, /fiscal-years/2025/ (FY2025 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $633,003,625.41. Do not stack FY2024 517410 dollars into this FY2025 join. Computing-infrastructure hosting (518210) is a different industry on FY2026.
This page reports satellite telecommunications activity USAspending tagged to FY2025. The headline $633,003,625.41 sits beside an industry-wide obligation total of $6,189,257,188; the 10.2% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of fiscal years as winners or losers. Obligations are not outlays. Subscriber and bandwidth splits are unpublished. Quote satellite telecommunications and FY2025 together.
Satellite Telecom is the industry key, not a program name
USAspending labels NAICS 517410 as Satellite Telecommunications. That code produced $633,003,625.41 when crossed with fiscal year 2025. The industry-wide 517410 hub does not require a FY2025 filter. The year hub does not require Satellite Telecom. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split bandwidth from ground-segment lines. Transponder folklore is not a packet fact. This page names no operators and no constellations.
Keeping 4,608 off the yearlyTrend clock
4,608 is the Satellite Telecommunications award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2025 instruments. Dividing $633,003,625.41 by 4,608 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. Four thousand six hundred eight industry-extract awards belong to 517410 across years, not to FY2025 as a satellite count. Later USAspending ingests can still restate FY2025 obligations without changing the join keys.
Deobligations can still move the cell
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $633,003,625.41 is that kind of sum for Satellite Telecommunications in FY2025. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $633,003,625.41 as given.
Treat 4,608 as award records on the industry extract, not unique vendors and not a FY2025 headcount. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Subscriber and bandwidth splits are unpublished. Quote satellite telecommunications and FY2025 together.
/ties/ is an index, not an addend
Cite USAspending.gov: Satellite Telecommunications (NAICS 517410) obligated $633,003,625.41 in FY2025. Name Satellite Telecommunications and FY2025 together. Keep the obligation word. If /industries/517410/ or /fiscal-years/2025/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a transponder inventory, a subscriber census, or a named-operator roster. 10.2% of $6,189,257,188 is the industry share on this packet, not a budget score. /industries/ lists other industries; /ties/ indexes other pairs.
Where Satellite Telecom in FY2025 stops
Four thousand six hundred eight industry-extract awards belong to 517410 across years, not to FY2025 as a satellite count. Do not stack FY2024 517410 dollars into this FY2025 join. Computing-infrastructure hosting (518210) is a different industry on FY2026. A reader who quotes 4,608 as unique companies in FY2025 has left the packet. A reader who treats 10.2% as a hardship or success ranking has added a score the table does not carry. Prefer /industries/517410/ and /fiscal-years/2025/ if the live tables moved. Subscriber and bandwidth splits are unpublished. Quote satellite telecommunications and FY2025 together.
Questions
- How much Satellite Telecom spending is obligated in FY2025?
- USAspending.gov lists $633,003,625.41 in Satellite Telecommunications (NAICS 517410) obligations for FY2025. That yearlyTrend amount is 10.2% of the industry's $6,189,257,188 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2025. Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Is $633,003,625.41 the entire Satellite Telecom USAspending total?
- No. NAICS 517410's extract-wide total is $6,189,257,188. FY2025 is 10.2% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/517410/ into this join. 4,608 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.
- Is $633,003,625.41 cash already paid in FY2025?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet's headline. Treating $633,003,625.41 as checks already cleared in FY2025 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
- Are FY2025 figures final?
- Later ingests can still restate obligations. $633,003,625.41 is the published yearlyTrend amount for NAICS 517410 in FY2025 on this snapshot. Prefer /industries/517410/ and /fiscal-years/2025/ if live tables moved. Outlays are unpublished. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 517410 in FY2025.
