This project started as a minimalist global map of spaceports built in QGIS. I researched worldwide spaceport locations, compiled them into a structured CSV dataset, and brought them into QGIS to produce a clean, modern cartographic design inspired by contemporary data visualization aesthetics. The emphasis was on clarity and visual balance, making the final map suitable for presentations, reports, and visual storytelling.
I later converted it into a fully interactive web map using Python, Folium, and Leaflet. The app loads spaceport data via CSV upload with a built-in demo mode for instant preview. Users can filter by country and launch success, explore interactive popups with launch details, and navigate dense locations through marker clustering. The map was deployed publicly on GitHub Pages.
