The Space Economy

Data Visualization graphic showing the rapid growth of the space economy, which is predicted to more than triple in the next 30 years. In this story, we worked with Space Foundation to visualize the data breakdown showing the surprisingly large component and growth in satellite services, the predicted growth in commercial human spaceflight which is still much in its infancy, and the shift of the economy to be more and more international. National Geographic Magazine July 2019. The digital version and the full story can be found here.

 

Below shows the progression of the graphic and the various ways I explored to visualize the large dataset.
