Abstract

The number of satellites has been steadily increasing since the first satellite launched to orbit in 1957. Satellites are launched for various purpose and users of the satellites are now spread across the world. The dependency on satellites has increased greatly over time and they now have a major impact on everyday life. The project I will discuss is focused on data analysis of earth satellites. The datasets used for analysis are from several sources, the data was cleaned and used to find some meaningful insights. The objective is develop data visualization charts and modeling techniques using R, identify trends in the satellite data, and understand satellite lifespans as well as the number of active earth satellites and their purposes. The study will help in understanding current satellite metrics and compare satellite data from different data sources.
