The Trash Up Top - an exploration of space debris

Introduction

The Trash Up Top is a data science project created during a KWK data science camp. It uses Tableau, an interactive data visualisation platform, and publicly-available datasets to inform the general public about the different types of satellites and space debris that are currently above Earth.

Link to Tableau viz:

<script type='text/javascript'> var divElement = document.getElementById('viz1753529302900'); var vizElement = divElement.getElementsByTagName('object')[0]; vizElement.style.width='100%';vizElement.style.height=(divElement.offsetWidth*0.75)+'px'; var scriptElement = document.createElement('script'); scriptElement.src = 'https://public.tableau.com/javascripts/api/viz_v1.js'; vizElement.parentNode.insertBefore(scriptElement, vizElement); </script>

What this repository contains

The datasets have been sourced from Kaggle, an open collection of datasets.

1. Every known satellite orbiting Earth
2. All satellites in the orbit
3. Satellites and debris on Earth

The Python scripts clean the data (anomalies, unstructured data, null values) and the full visualisation can be viewed above.
