Space federal awards
At least 33 awards, at least $1.76B obligated
Awards with activity since Oct 1, 2018, as searched Sep 24, 2026. Awarded Sep 16, 1997 to Mar 31, 2025; most from NASA (24 awards)
Counts awards the government's own product code or programme title marks as space work, or the space research industry code; the satellite-telecoms industry code counts only together with a space agency, office or a space word in the award's own description. Obligated dollars, not ceilings; umbrella contracts (IDVs) are left out because their orders are counted one by one. Amounts as USAspending reported them on Sep 24, 2026. Our search reached its page limit for this company, so these are its largest awards and every total here is a floor.
