Where the agency's dollars actually go.
The whole National Aeronautics and Space Administration (USAspending toptier agency 080) as recorded in the public spending feed: budgetary resources and obligations by fiscal year, and the largest contract awards. NASA spends a large share of its money on contracts — the major flight programs are built by industry — so the contracts table below is a representative slice of NASA's obligations, though it still excludes grants, university cooperative agreements, and intra-governmental work.
Data currency & scale
Agency budgetary resources are gross and include prior-year unobligated balances carried forward (NASA's multiyear appropriations), so they run above any single-year appropriation. NASA publishes award detail without a 90-day OPSEC withholding; normal USAspending reporting lag applies, so the contracts table uses the latest fully-loaded fiscal year.
