Session
Session 10: Ground Systems
Abstract
The SatNOGS, or Satellite Network Open Ground Stations, project promotes and supports free and open space applications. It seeks to address the problem of connecting many satellite users/observers to many ground station operators. Modern Open Source software, web, and hardware techniques are used in implementing the Network, Database, Client, and Ground Station sub-projects. Modularity in all the systems promotes the dual-use of ground stations by not interfering with local operation while utilizing the great amount of time a civilian, non-commercial ground station would otherwise sit idle.
