This repository contains a helper software project (located in the spacewalks subfolder of this repository) with the final, improved and tested code version of the example software project software project used for teaching the FAIR research software course.
This is the state of the software project the course aims to finish with, containing various improvements made on the "not so FAIR" software project the course starts with.
The code analyses the NASA data on spacewalks (see details on the data below) by looking at the time astronauts spent in space, crew sizes and the country space missions originated from.

The data used on in this project was obtained from NASA as follows.
Data source: https://data.nasa.gov/Raw-Data/Extra-vehicular-Activity-EVA-US-and-Russia/9kcy-zwvn/about_data.
Either export data from the above page using the Export button or download in JSON format from command line as:
curl https://data.nasa.gov/resource/eva.json --output eva-data.json
Note: the original data has been modified for the purposes of this tutorial by inserting a semicolon separator after each name in the crew field.
The idea for this software has been borrowed from the "Astronaut analysis" workshop material by Helmholtz Federated IT Services (HIFIS).
