This data science project for CST383: Introduction to Data Science investigates the relationship between a satellite’s physical characteristics and its intended mission. By developing a predictive model to categorize satellites into six primary classes, my team and I demonstrated that specific mission types are strongly tied to distinct orbital patterns.
CST383: Introduction to Data Science
Introduction to Data Science provided the skills to utilize statistical programming languages and libraries to preprocess data, apply machine learning models, and visualize complex trends. The course focused on the entire data science pipeline, from acquisition and cleaning to predictive modeling and communicating results through clear visuals. Transitioning from raw data to actionable insights felt like learning a new language, one that allows me to predict the future instead of just reporting the past.
