USAspending.gov records $5,175,648,531.30 in National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations for fiscal year 2026. On toptier 080, that yearlyTrend amount is 2.0% of NASA's $258,227,646,381.10 extract-wide total. The pair is NASA plus FY2026, not a launch manifest and not invoices already paid. Agency 080 publishes 28,343 award records in this extract; that count is not a FY2026-only contract list.
Key figures
- USAspending records $5,175,648,531.30 in NASA FY2026 obligations (agency 080).
- FY2026 is 2.0% of NASA's $258,227,646,381.10 extract-wide total and can still be incomplete.
- 28,343 award records are extract-wide, not a FY2026 contract census.
- No centers, contractors, or outlays are in this packet.
NASA's incomplete FY2026 yearlyTrend row
Fiscal year 2026 can still be filling in; the source note says FY figures can be incomplete for the current year. $5,175,648,531.30 is the published obligation total for agency 080 in FY2026, not the $258,227,646,381.10 all-year NASA book, not every federal space dollar that year, and not an outlay. Centers and primes are unnamed.
FY2026 is a small published cell beside NASA's large FY2024 yearlyTrend row. That gap is a year-filter plus possible incompleteness, not a named-mission cancellation list. Correlation with launch cadence is not causation.
FY2026 versus NASA's extract-wide book
2.0% of $258,227,646,381.10 is tagged to FY2026 here. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration hub (/agencies/080/) omits the year filter. FY2026 federal spending (/fiscal-years/2026/) omits the 080 filter. Do not add those parents into $5,175,648,531.30.
Do not annualize $5,175,648,531.30 or fold FY2024/FY2025 NASA cells into this one. Cite obligations, not outlays.

Questions
- How much has NASA obligated in FY2026 in this extract?
- USAspending.gov records $5,175,648,531.30 in National Aeronautics and Space Administration obligations for FY2026 under agency 080. That yearlyTrend amount can still change; FY figures can be incomplete for the current year. Keep National Aeronautics and Space Administration and FY2026 on the same citation as $5,175,648,531.30.
- Why is FY2026 tiny next to NASA's all-year total?
- FY2026 is 2.0% of $258,227,646,381.10 in this extract. Other fiscal years for agency 080 sit in other cells, and the current year can still be incomplete. Do not treat the gap as a canceled-mission list.
- Are 28,343 awards FY2026 NASA contracts?
- No. 28,343 is NASA's extract-wide award-record count, not a FY2026 census. Contractors are unpublished. Obligations of $5,175,648,531.30 are not outlays. The pair is agency 080 plus FY2026. The pair is agency 080 plus FY2026.
- Does this name aerospace primes?
- No. $5,175,648,531.30 is an obligation aggregate with no recipient list. Outlays are unpublished. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. USAspending.gov remains the source for agency 080 in FY2026. The pair is agency 080 plus FY2026.
USAspending.gov agency yearlyTrend amounts by fiscal year. Obligations are not outlays. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.
