About
This dataset provides a detailed collection of global rocket launch statistics, offering insights into various aspects of space missions. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the history and trends of rocket launches, including information on the companies involved, launch locations, dates, and the success or failure status of missions. It is a foundational dataset for those interested in aerospace and aviation, offering a window into the advancements and challenges in space exploration.
Columns
- Unnamed: An unidentified numerical column, potentially representing an index or internal identifier.
- Company Name: The name of the company or organisation responsible for the rocket launch. This includes key players such as CASC and NASA, alongside a significant number of other entities.
- Location: The geographic location of the launch, with specific details for sites like LC-39A at Kennedy Space Centre, Florida, USA, and ELA-3 at Guiana Space Centre, French Guiana, France, as well as numerous other global sites.
- Datum: The specific date of the launch event.
- Detail: Details about the spaceship involved in the mission.
- Status Rocket: Indicates whether the rocket is currently in service (StatusActive) or has been retired (StatusRetired).
- Rocket: The unique identifier or number for the rocket used in the launch.
- Status Mission: Denotes the outcome of the mission, classifying it as either a Success or a Failure. A small percentage falls under other outcomes.
Distribution
The dataset primarily consists of tabular data and text, typically supplied in a CSV file format. While a precise total row count is not available, the presence of numerous label counts (e.g., 293 records in one range, 949 in another) suggests a substantial collection of thousands of records, with unique values noted for certain fields (e.g., 963 and 962 unique values).
Usage
This dataset is ideally suited for:
- Historical analysis of rocket launches: Tracking patterns and developments over time.
- Performance evaluation of launch companies: Comparing success rates and activity levels of different aerospace companies.
- Geographical studies of launch sites: Identifying key regions for space activities.
- Academic research: Supporting studies in aerospace engineering, physics, and space science.
- Trend identification: Spotting emerging trends in rocket technology and mission objectives.
Coverage
The dataset offers global coverage for rocket launch events, with significant representation from major launch sites across the world, including specific locations in North America and Europe. The time range is captured within the 'Datum' column, allowing for analysis of launches across various years, although a specific start and end date range is not explicitly provided.
