Unveiling the Cosmos: A Data-Driven Journey into the Frontiers of Space Exploration

Abstract

This study provides an in-depth examination of space launch data over the long-time frame from 1957 to 2023. By combining data from a Kaggle dataset with web-scraped data for 2023, the research employs a methodical approach that includes important stages including data pretreatment, exploratory data analysis (EDA), and sophisticated visualization tools. A wide range of visualizations, from the conventional bar and line charts to more specialized forms like the sunburst chart and choropleth map, is used in the research to reveal important discoveries. The focus of the research is on how space missions are distributed, carefully identifying trends between rocket models, nations, and companies. This project advances a more sophisticated understanding of the patterns influencing the ever-changing field of space launches
