Satellite Tracking Station<br\><br\>[VHF][UHF][SHF][multi-band]
This project was started initially based upon the SatNOGS project.

SatNOGS is an open source ground station and network, optimized for modularity, built from readily available and affordable tools and resources.
We love satellites! And there are thousands of them up there. SatNOGS provides a scalable and modular platform to communicate with them. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are our priority, and for a good reason. Hundreds of interesting projects worth of tracking and listening are happening in LEO and SatNOGS provides a robust platform for doing so.
We support VHF and UHF bands for reception with our default configuration, which is easily extendable for transmission and other bands too. Sticking to modular architecture based on network communications we ensure remote access and interchangeable design meeting all possible needs.
