About the Creators

We are students in the Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) program at the University of California, Berkeley. This website was created as part of our final project for DATASCI 209: Data Visualization. Our goal was to explore trends in the space exploration industry through clear, compelling visualizations that support our research hypotheses.

We hope this site serves as a resource for a wide range of audiences — from educators and students to space enthusiasts and curious learners — offering insights into how launch activity, spending, and innovation have evolved over time.

All data related to launches and spending was sourced from NextSpaceFlight.
