We just launched a new collection of charts on Space Exploration and Satellites on Our World in Data.

We plan to expand this in the future – with more data, and more text to present it – but in the meantime, you can explore the following charts:

• Annual budget of NASA
• Annual number of human visits to space
• Cumulative number of human visits to space
• Annual number of objects launched into outer space
• Cumulative number of objects launched into outer space
• Cost of space launches to low Earth orbit
• Cumulative number of exoplanets discovered, by method
• Cumulative number of people who have been to space
• Largest confirmed impact craters on Earth by diameter
• Near-Earth asteroids discovered over time
• Number of objects in low Earth orbit, by type
• Number of objects in space, by orbit
