All NASA Contracts

3 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

NASA's $4.9B contracts over this period are dominated by a $4.7B legacy firm-fixed-price deal with Russia Space Agency (neutral signal, only 3.6% or $169M outlayed to date, minimal U.S. investor impact). Bullish exposure for Teledyne Technologies via $204M cost-plus R&D on IGF launch adapters (50% outlayed, $25M options through 2027). Neutral Caltech/JPL Mars tech funding ($29.5M obligated of $92M potential to 2028) underscores sustained but uneven space R&D commitments amid long horizons (all to 2027-2028).

Investment Signals(3)

  • Teledyne secures steady IGF R&D revenue(HIGH)

    Teledyne Brown Engineering's $203M obligation (50% outlayed) with $25M options supports predictable cash flows through 2027 under cost-plus structure.

  • Russia mega-contract low outlay exposure(HIGH)

    95% of total value in $4.7B Russia deal with just $169M (3.6%) outlayed signals stalled spending despite 2028 endpoint.

  • Long-term space R&D options unexercised(MEDIUM)

    $87M+ in options across Teledyne/Caltech could unlock if exercised, amid JPL/Mars and IGF priorities.

Risk Flags(2)

  • Execution[HIGH RISK]

    Extended periods to 2027-2028 with low outlay ratios (3.6% Russia, 50% Teledyne, 67% Caltech) risk delays/funding cuts.

  • Market[MEDIUM RISK]

    Firm/cost-plus structures expose to overruns (Russia) or oversight (Teledyne/Caltech); subawards dilute retention (Teledyne $60M).

Opportunities(2)

  • $25M Teledyne options + $63M Caltech potential for IGF/Mars R&D ramp-up.

  • Sustained 10-35 year NASA commitments signal multi-year space vehicle/science funding stability.

Sector Themes(2)

  • $4.7B Russia contract (1993-2028) dwarfs U.S. R&D awards, highlighting enduring joint flight dependencies.

  • Teledyne/Caltech awards emphasize IGF/Mars tech with $50%+ outlays and options to 2028.
