Welcome to the Data Science Capstone Project, the culminating effort of the IBM Data Science Professional Certification. This project centers around the task of predicting the price of each SpaceX launch and determining the likelihood of reusing the first stage. The objective is achieved through a combination of data gathering, exploration, and the application of machine learning techniques. The end result is a comprehensive demonstration of the data science workflow, from initial data exploration and cleaning to the development and evaluation of predictive models.
Launch Price Prediction: The primary objective is to determine the optimal pricing for each SpaceX launch. This involves in-depth analysis of relevant data to identify key factors influencing launch costs.
Rather than relying on traditional rocket science methodologies, this project leverages the power data collection and machine learning to predict the successful reusability of the first stage. By utilizing publicly available information, the model aims to forecast whether SpaceX will reuse the first stage.
The project is implemented using Jupyter notebooks, each meticulously detailing the tasks undertaken throughout the data science lifecycle. From data preprocessing and exploratory data analysis to feature engineering, model training, and evaluation, each notebook provides transparency into the decision-making process.
Feel free to navigate through the notebooks to gain valuable insights into the intricacies of the data science process. The project's success is contingent on collaborative learning and improvement. Your feedback and suggestions are invaluable in refining the project further.
