About
This dataset provides detailed information about individuals and non-human entities who have travelled into space. It includes those trained, equipped, and deployed by human spaceflight programmes to serve as commanders or crew members aboard spacecraft. The data also encompasses other space travellers such as scientists, politicians, journalists, and tourists. Its purpose is to offer insight into global space exploration efforts, the participants involved, and their notable achievements.
Columns
- s.no/code given: A unique serial number or code assigned to each entry, identifying both human and non-human astronauts.
- Astronaut name: The designated name for the astronaut or space traveller.
- country: The country associated with the astronaut, detailing their national origin or affiliation for space missions.
- company space agency: The specific space agency or private company responsible for the astronaut's mission.
- missions: The total count of space missions undertaken by the individual or entity.
- days in space: The accumulated number of days an astronaut has spent in space.
- spacewalks: Information pertaining to any extravehicular activities, or spacewalks, performed.
- days spacewalking: The total duration, in days, spent conducting spacewalks.
- acheivement 1: The primary notable accomplishment or milestone achieved during a mission, such as "Crossed Kármán Line" or "ISS Visitor".
- acheivement 2: A secondary significant accomplishment or milestone from a mission.
- acheivement 3: A tertiary noteworthy accomplishment or milestone from a mission, such as "Space Resident".
- acheivement 4: A quaternary accomplishment or additional detail about the mission or astronaut, potentially including distinctions like "Dog".
- still in space: A boolean indicator specifying whether the astronaut is currently on a mission in space.
Distribution
The dataset is provided as a CSV file with a size of 83.28 kB. It contains 13 distinct columns and typically includes 952 valid records for most key fields. Some columns, however, have a significant number of missing values.
Usage
This dataset is ideal for:
- Historical analysis of spaceflight and exploration.
- Tracking and analysing trends in astronaut participation, mission types, and achievements.
- Studying the contributions of different countries and space agencies to space programmes.
- Educational initiatives aimed at understanding space travel and astronautics.
- Research into the demographics and experiences of space travellers, including non-human participants.
Coverage
The dataset covers human and non-human astronauts involved in various spaceflight programmes. Geographically, it reflects a global scope, with the United States of America being the most represented country at 55%, followed by the USSR at 18%, among 42 unique countries. The data includes information on individuals associated with major space agencies like NASA (38% of available agency data). While specific time ranges are not explicitly stated, the presence of the 'still in space' column suggests coverage up to recent times. Not all records have full information; for instance, 34% of space agency data is missing, and 35% of 'days in space' and 'spacewalks' data is absent.
