According to the Decadal Study a Key Component of the Next 10 Years of Exploration Will Be Sample Return Missions. However These Missions Are Exponentially More Expensive Than Traditional Exploration Missions Because They Need Two Times the Delta-v Resulting in Exponential Growth of Its Initial Mass Due to the Rocket Equations. a Key to Offsetting This Increased Cost Is Through In-situ Resource Utilization and Miniaturization. the Nimph Project Develops a Micro-isru System for Producing Lox and LH2 for Return Propellant. the System Takes Advantage of Developments in the Cubesat Arena to Reduce the Dry Mass of the Isru System by 90% Compared to Current Systems. This Will Allow Missions to Refuel at Their Destinations Such as Europa Mars and the Lunar Poles Drastically Reducing the Size and Cost of the Mission.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
