About

What is the state of “space activities” globally, across countries, agencies and projects?

Currently, there is no comprehensive global view of space activity. This project aims to create a dynamic viewer that tracks space activities based on key benefits, drivers and end goals, with data filtered by project, investment level and geographic location. By visualizing how space activities are distributed worldwide, the heat map will offer valuable insights into the global diversity of space efforts. It will enable stakeholders to interact with this data, enhancing their understanding and helping to guide future space initiatives. This interactive, visual tool will allow a broader range of stakeholders to engage with space-related information and actively contribute to shaping future projects.
