Hello,
I am back from the last AMSAT-F meeting. In a lot of talks, there was something about Satnogs. It seems that almost any projet have at least used it one time.
For a few satellite project it was also very important, because the main GS of the project was not usable, and the Satnogs project enabled them to not lose data.
I chated with almost everybody, and about the satnogs projet, they told me :
- the satnogs project is really awsome
- clocks of GS must be accurate, because timestamp of data is very usefull (and a few GS are not very accurate)
- a GS must be easily shared between the Satnogs project and your own private use
Also, the AMSAT-F have a project of collecting more data about satellites, for example more infos about the frequency coordination, and also where to reach the team of the satellite and lot more.
I would be great to improve the https://db.satnogs.org/ to have this kind of informations I guess ?
About rockets and CubeSat a team is working on an open-source radio board.
Everything is here : https://code.electrolab.fr/nats/spino
There was also a talk from an IARU member, about the requirements to get a ham frequency for a satellite project. It was needed to do that because there is more and more abuse from satellite team that ask for a ham frequency and don’t comply with the requirements.
It was great
