Executive Summary
NASA's $28B contracts underscore unwavering commitment to ISS sustainment and commercial crew through 2030, with Boeing capturing 79% ($22.3B) for dominant revenue visibility. High outlays (>75% obligated) in SpaceX ($2.5B/3B) and KBR ($767M/996M) signal near-term cash flow acceleration, while Boeing/Lockheed's low outlays (<12%) flag paced funding. Aerospace primes gain multi-year stability amid 33-year average tenure, prioritizing cost-plus structures for lower execution risk.
