This scatter plot visualizes the launch mass of Earth satellites against their launch year, with each red dot representing a satellite. The data comes from the Union of Concerned Scientists and shows density patterns, with clusters indicating common satellite weights and launch periods. The visualization uses D3 v5 with scaleLinear for mass, scaleTime for years, and axis components to render the SVG. Circles are semi-transparent to reveal overlapping points, highlighting concentration trends across the dataset.

AI-generated description

Tweak of the original by Ryan Fleming that shows density structures.

This data is about the launch mass of a satellite vs the year it was launched.

Satellites Scatter Plot

This scatter plot displays the launch mass of Earth satellites against their launch year, using data from the Union of Concerned Scientists. The visualization uses D3 v5 with SVG rendering, employing `scaleTime` for the x-axis and `scaleLinear` for the y-axis, with mass values converted from kilograms to thousands of kilograms. Axes are generated using `axisBottom` and `axisLeft`, while circles are appended to the SVG canvas. The plot reveals a wide distribution of satellite masses, with many lighter satellites clustered in recent years and a few heavier ones spread across the timeline.

Scatter Plot UCS Satellite Dataset

This scatter plot visualizes the relationship between dry mass and power for satellites in the UCS Satellite Dataset. Each circle represents a satellite, with its position determined by mass on the x-axis and power on the y-axis, while color encodes the satellite’s country of origin. The code loads the CSV data using D3’s `csv` method, applies linear scales via `scaleLinear`, and renders the SVG circles with `d3.schemeCategory10` for color mapping. Axis labels are added via `axisLeft` and `axisBottom`, demonstrating a straightforward D3 v6 data-binding workflow.

Satellites Launches per Year(Final Project)

This visualization combines a line chart of satellite launches per year with an interactive world map. Users can click a country on the map to filter the line chart to that nation’s launch history, or click a year on the line chart to highlight launches from that year on the map. The line chart uses d3.scaleTime, d3.axisBottom, d3.line, and a tooltip with d3.bisector. The map uses d3.geoNaturalEarth1, d3.geoPath, and a custom d3 color legend. Data comes from the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Scatter Plot For UCS Dataset

This scatter plot visualizes the UCS dataset, showing the relationship between dry mass and power for each satellite. Points are colored yellow or red based on whether launch mass exceeds 70 kg. The chart uses d3.csv and d3.autoType to load and parse the data from a GitHub gist. D3 v7 scales and axes position circles in an SVG, with d3.axisBottom and d3.axisLeft rendering the numeric axes.

Satellites Launches per Year

This line chart shows the total number of satellites launched per year from 1974 to 2018, based on country of operator and launch date data from the Union of Concerned Scientists. The visualization uses D3 v5 to parse the CSV data and display it as a smooth curve, with an SVG rendering approach that includes labeled axes and a title. The code employs D3's scaleLinear, scaleTime, axisBottom, axisLeft, line, and curveBasis functions to construct the chart, while a dropdown menu component is available but not visible in the rendered output.

Plot launch year/month with menus

This interactive scatterplot displays rocket launch years and months, with each circle marking at least one launch. A dropdown menu lets viewers filter the x-axis to show all years or specific date ranges. The visualization uses React for the interface and D3 scales for positioning, rendering marks as SVG circles. The y-axis is fixed to months, while the x-axis domain varies based on the selected range. Data comes from a CSV file detailing space privatization efforts.

Plot launch year/month

This scatterplot visualizes space launch activity by year and month, with each dot representing at least one launch occurring in that month. The x-axis groups years into five sequential ranges between 1957 and 2020, while the y-axis orders months from 12 down to 1. The visualization uses React and D3 v5, employing `scaleBand` for both axes, SVG circles for marks, and data sourced from a CSV file on TaylorW43’s GitHub gist. Custom `AxisBottom` and `AxisLeft` components render the tick marks.

points

This visualization maps the global distribution of space launches, with circles sized by the number of launches at each location. It uses a Natural Earth projection via `d3.geoNaturalEarth1` and `d3.geoPath`, with graticules and country borders from the world-atlas TopoJSON dataset. The data comes from a CSV of privatization of space launches. React manages the component structure, while `d3.scaleSqrt` maps launch counts to circle radii, and SVG `<title>` elements provide hover tooltips.
