Abstract

Different countries have their own satellites for their various needs like communication, weather forecast, and security. The first satellite was launched in 1957 into space. Thousands of satellite lifetimes have already ended but they are still in orbit. The present world has more advanced technology when compared with previous technology. So, the technology for satellites is improving compared with the past. We need to understand trends in improvements to satellites related to lifespans better, using a new dataset that has not been available before, as well as datasets that we have worked with before, and that is the purpose of this project. The main aim of this project is to analyze the satellite data with data visualization tools and find some significant patterns in satellite data. The project explores the average lifespan of satellites over the period of artificial satellites, 1957 to present.
