I am Faruk from Turkey. Thank you everyone for this community.
I graduated from electronics engineering in the last month, and nowadays I have enough time to contribute something. I worked as a team leader and a developer on a model sattelite project(CanSat) for my graduation. I enjoyed a lot and now I want to contribute something about space.
I have been interested in computer & electronics since my childhood, so I experienced various technologies and areas. Here are;
PCB design,
Administration of GNU/Linux servers,
I can develop software for ground station or flight automation (C/C++, Python, Java, C# etc.),
I can develop libraries for specific communication protocols like i2c, SPI, UART etc.
Preparing presentation, banner etc.
Feel free to assign me any piece of task, I will be glad to contribute.
Hi all,
Iām Didier from middle France (near city of Nevers in Burgundy), ham radio operator F5SNV since 1991 and SWL since my 8 years oldā¦
Iām radio technician for the firefighters in my department and like all applications of radio with computers , APRS sysop and FR24 ADSB contributor (FR24 box and RPi+FlightAware blue).
My SatNOGS station is online with RPi3, RTLSDR V3 and VHF horizontal dipole for testing (hombrew turnstyle soon), but very difficult to start with scheduled observations and positive resultsā¦
Hi @F5SNV welcome to SatNOGS and the greater Libre Space community. Looking forward for your permanent setup. I guess a successful turnstile will be a significant improvement. Additionally you might also want to add a LNA on your setup.
Hello,
Thanks for your replies, LNA is on my desktop, received today.
I have scheduled observations but some more mistakes in the log, I joint the chat for debug.
Iām Pierre from France (living in Paris now). Iām currently studying Computer Sciences (first year) at the 42 school and I want to become a Machine Learning Engineer. I love space !
I am very interested in the satnogs project and I want to build my own station with some friends and schoolmate as soon as possible.
I still have a lot of questions about this project so Iāll check if I an find answer in previous posts. If not Iāll create new one.
I can also help with the coding part when Iāll finished my internship. For now I am a bit too busy
Hi g7kse !
I donāt know what kind of station we will build for now.
I just talked about building one to some schoolmates and friends and they are as enthusiastic as I am.
We must look for options and then we will decide. Do you have any advice about it ?
I guess it would depend on your expertise, but in general a static (non-rotator) GS is the simplest to construct. Especially if you go with the reference design (RPi3 + RTL-SDR + Antenna). There are a few GS that follow this. There are both VHF and UHF ones, that is a choice youāll need to make as that will drive the antenna choice.
I am biased but my GS is a RPi3 + NooElec SMArt dongle + Wimo TA1 turnstile antenna. The results are good for what you put together. Obviously the rotator set up will be higher performing but needs a greater investment.
My advice is to get yourself setup with the minimum of work, for me that is a non-rotator, then build up to a rotator setup.
I am Attilio from Germany.
I am a radioamateur with the callsign DL1UNX. As I work in the space field I am definitely interested in this project, although I am not in the best conditions to be able to host a good station for it; Iād try, though, to do my best with my current setup.
I am a full stack software developer (Java, Python, Javascript/HTML/CSS) and have long time experience with Linux systems. I am interested in system administration, software development, radio communications, astronomy (but science in general).
I look forward to cooperate and to be able to improve my own station, according to my possibilities of course
