Data clean and visualisation of soviet space dogs data.
The data has been sourced from here. Collated by Duncan Geere.
dogs_clean.R and flights_clean.R perform some data cleaning/tidying steps to prepare the data for plotting. Makes use of tidyr, stringr, lubridate and janitor.
dog_flight_plot.R creates the data visualisation saved as soviet_space_dogs.png. Built with ggplot2, ggforce, ggtext and showtext.
The cleaning steps output the cleaned data as CSV files:
dogs_clean.csv
flights_clean.csv
Feel free to create your own data viz!
