The Goal of This Effort Will Be to Design a Spacecraft That Will Keep Overall Costs Very Low and Allow for a Number of Deep Space Missions. This Will Be Achieved by Keeping the Mass and Volume Low Enough to Be Launched Commercially by a Minotaur Iv Rocket Use Low Enriched Uranium to Keep Licensing Costs Low and Allow for Private Ownership and Utilize Small Satellite Technology to Keep Technology Costs Low. Current Estimates Predict 10 Cubesats of 7 KG Each Could Be Delivered to Europa on a Craft With a Total Wet Mass of 1100 KG and Length of 4 Meters Well Within the Requirements of Commercially Available Launch Vehicles.

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 .
